Cost factors for service penetrations
These are the things that shape the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How we handle fire stopping in Felbridge
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. If you have old intumescent sealant that has split away and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Felbridge, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller places such as Felbridge still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions we are asked in Felbridge
Is a smaller place like Felbridge outside your area?
Not at all. Felbridge is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Felbridge?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Surface by surface
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, along the full length of the run.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables, so we check before sealing.
Fire stopping in Felbridge: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Felbridge takes in a number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. Felbridge lies roughly 25 miles out from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls.
For a unit at a site such as Birches Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles south-east of Felbridge, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. Schools such as Felbridge Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Queen Victoria Hospital (2.1 miles east of Felbridge) all have compartment walls crossed by services.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Whether you are 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.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Felbridge, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
