About our fire stopping in Hinton Ampner
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve fire sealant pulled out of the opening and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal, across pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. For commercial sealant work in Hinton Ampner, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Hinton Ampner often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.

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 reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a building around Hinton Ampner, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Where services cross fire walls in Hinton Ampner
At about 55 miles from central London, Hinton Ampner is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of All Saints sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Schools such as Cheriton Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hinton Ampner
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. For buildings around smaller places like Hinton Ampner, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Quoting for work in Hinton Ampner
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions about Hinton Ampner
Is a smaller place like Hinton Ampner outside your area?
Not at all. Hinton Ampner is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Hinton Ampner?
No. The designer or fire engineer sets the detail and building control accepts it. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested detail, and telling you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Owners, agents and contractors

Surface by 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.
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes, though larger ones normally call for a collar or wrap. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
