Fire stopping near Fawler
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations

What affects the price in Fawler
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Fawler: questions and answers
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Fawler?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Does your area include sites such as Manor Barns Business Park, near Fawler?
Yes, sites like Manor Barns Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fawler. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you cover Fawler?
Yes. We cover Fawler. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Leave it or put it right?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme, so earlier action pays back. Older rural buildings around Fawler move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why appoint us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Constructionline member
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Fire stopping in Fawler: the local picture
At about 63 miles from central London, Fawler is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Schools such as Finstock Church of England Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. For a building at a site such as Manor Barns Business Park (0.6 miles west of Fawler), a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice. In a building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Fawler are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
