Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Fire stopping in Wrotham
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and what we are called in for most is builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wrotham tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Wrotham often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Wrotham clients
Will you take on work at estates like Invicta Business Park, close to Wrotham?
Yes, sites like Invicta Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Wrotham. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Wrotham?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Is Wrotham in your area?
Yes. Wrotham is in our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

Commercial clients in Wrotham
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Wrotham. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Wrotham may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows

What happens if it’s left?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme, so earlier action pays back. Around Wrotham, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Public liability insurance in place
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Where services cross fire walls in Wrotham
At about 22 miles from central London, Wrotham is within reach of the capital. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls; the gaps need the specified seal. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Wrotham. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
In a school such as Wrotham School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified. On a site such as Invicta Business Park, 0.9 miles to the east of Wrotham, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.
Wrotham is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Wrotham, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Wrotham is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 22 miles from Wrotham.

What we’re called out for in Wrotham
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls and later need putting right.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Sevenoaks Hospital, 5.1 miles west of Wrotham, the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
