How we handle fire stopping in Hog Hatch
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are penetration schedules that need working through and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hog Hatch? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Hog Hatch, many commercial buildings are conversions or extensions of older ones, so it’s worth confirming the wall or floor type before choosing the seal. The right product depends on the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, along the full length of the run.
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically and tell you about openings outside the list.
Why act early in Hog Hatch
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first, and the other benefits follow. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in Hog Hatch
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
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.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a site in Hog Hatch, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Service penetrations in Hog Hatch buildings
There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Hog Hatch. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The area within 2 miles of Hog Hatch holds several hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
For a hotel such as The Bush Hotel (1.2 miles south of Hog Hatch), penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. Office fit-outs on sites such as Riverside Business Park (1.2 miles south-east of Hog Hatch) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it. For an estates team at a campus like University for the Creative Arts, 1 mile to the south of Hog Hatch, summer M&E works are usually followed by a round of penetration sealing.

Common questions from Hog Hatch clients
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Hog Hatch?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Would you work within a site like Farnham Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
