Signs you need fire stopping in Furzey Lodge
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is when untested combinations creep in.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
For a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

Fire stopping in Furzey Lodge
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow. If you are dealing with head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, we can put it right, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations alike. Most enquiries from Furzey Lodge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A job near Furzey Lodge is usually planned around one visit, so send the specification and photos first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Quoting for work in Furzey Lodge
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For work around Furzey Lodge, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Penetration seals near Furzey Lodge
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Lymington New Forest Hospital, 4.5 miles to the south-west of Furzey Lodge, all have compartment walls crossed by services. Hotels like Montagu Arms Hotel (1.2 miles east of Furzey Lodge) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.

- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap

Common questions from Furzey Lodge clients
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Furzey Lodge?
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.
Is Furzey Lodge too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, 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.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
