Fire stopping in Conyer
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Fire stopping in Conyer
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal, not a rule of thumb. If you have improvised or mixed-product fire seals and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Conyer from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions around Conyer can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

What affects the price in Conyer
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
What else we do in Conyer
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What the job involves on each surface
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers first.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement.
Your questions answered
Is Conyer off your patch?
Not at all. Conyer is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as KITE College?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2 as E for integrity and I for insulation, with a time such as EI 60 or EI 120. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Do you work in Scotland as well as England?
Our work covers Greater London, the South East and every Scottish council area. Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects service penetrations to be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance, using products tested for their end use.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

Service penetrations in Conyer buildings
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. At about 41 miles from central London, Conyer is within reach of the capital. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
At a college such as KITE College, 3 miles west of Conyer, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice. For a building such as Church of St Mary, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
