Our Story
Founded in 2006, Optimum began as a specialist in sealant application for the construction industry. From day one, our mission has been clear: to deliver a high-standard, reliable, and professional service. Our commitment to excellence quickly earned us the trust of leading principal contractors across London and the South East, laying the foundation for long-term growth.
In 2010, we expanded our services with the launch of our Fire Protection Division, offering fire stopping and passive fire protection solutions to both new and existing clients.
Since then, Optimum has continued to grow from strength to strength. Both our Sealant Application and Fire Protection divisions have seen consistent development, supported by long-standing relationships with main contractors and a strong track record of repeat business.
We're proud to be known not only for our quality and reliability but also for our forward-thinking approach. We've recently implemented a cloud-based system that has transformed our internal operations—streamlining workflows, enhancing efficiency, and moving us toward a virtually paperless office.
At Optimum, our approach is simple:
✔️ We put our customers first.
✔️ We deliver the highest quality service.
✔️ We offer competitive pricing—without compromise.
Whether it's a small-scale remedial job or a large commercial project, our team is dedicated to delivering on time, to spec, and to the highest standard every time.

OUR MISSION
"At Optimum Contractors, we are committed to setting the standard in safety, quality, and reliability across every project we deliver. Our mission is to protect people and property by delivering precision-led fire protection, remedials, and specialist sealing solutions — powered by expert craftsmanship, continuous innovation, and unwavering accountability."
