Workplaces and buildings in Ospringe

We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Ospringe has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

What affects the quote in Ospringe
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Ospringe
Will you come out to Ospringe?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What we are called out for in Ospringe
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Ospringe, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
