Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Brunswick Park
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and hidden openings found during inspections, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Brunswick Park, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. We install what the designer or fire engineer has specified, and if you need records of the work, tell us and we will confirm with the quote.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Brunswick Park as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Do you need fire stopping in Brunswick Park?
Openings in fire-resisting walls usually appear when services are added or changed. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
Offices at parks like North London Business Park, under half a mile west of Brunswick Park, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
Comparing quotes
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Questions we’re asked in Brunswick Park
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Brunswick Park?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Priory Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Compartment walls and floors in Brunswick Park
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Brunswick Park. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. Every new tenant in a London building tends to bring new cabling, and with it new holes through compartment walls. We seal to the specification and the product’s tested detail, working within the building’s permits.
At a university such as Middlesex University, 4.5 miles south-west of Brunswick Park, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work. Large healthcare estates like Priory Hospital, 1.3 miles to the east of Brunswick Park, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
After the work, brief anyone else working in the area that the openings are now sealed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and installation follows the programme.
