Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wingham Well are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Wingham Well
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. We work on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and improvised or mixed-product fire seals. For commercial sealant work in Wingham Well, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Wingham Well, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and the tested detail may ask for insulation beyond the wall. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.

Compartment walls and floors in Wingham Well
At about 58 miles from central London, Wingham Well is within reach of the capital. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Campus buildings at universities such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 4.9 miles to the west of Wingham Well, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like St Martins Hospital, 4.2 miles west of Wingham Well, all have compartment walls crossed by services. Schools such as Wingham Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Wingham Industrial Estate, near Wingham Well, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wingham Well, Wingham Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes, where there is a specification for those walls and floors. Openings left by new services are among the most common jobs we see and we close them with the specified product.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Cost factors for service penetrations
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
A quote for service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
