We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next.

Somewhere as small as Upper Harbledown, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

Why act early in Upper Harbledown
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a small place like Upper Harbledown, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Upper Harbledown: your questions answered
I let a flat near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Upper Harbledown in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Upper Harbledown is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

What we are called out for in Upper Harbledown
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For buildings such as Church of St. Gabriel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant around Upper Harbledown
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Edmund's School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Canterbury West station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up.
