How we handle fire stopping in Joyden's Wood
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail. If you’re dealing with unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Joyden's Wood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like Joyden's Wood is usually a single building at a time. With the specification and photographs of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Joyden's Wood has three care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified.

Questions about Joyden's Wood
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Queen Mary's Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Do you cover Joyden's Wood?
Yes. Sites across Joyden's Wood are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is sealant suitable for all service openings?
No. A sealant’s evidence covers set services, gaps and wall or floor types. Outside that, a different product is needed, as set out by the designer.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Why deal with it now?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. In a smaller place such as Joyden's Wood, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
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 you get with us
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Public liability insurance in place
- CHAS accredited contractor
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Joyden's Wood
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows

What we are called out for in Joyden's Wood
A common fault is a product that was never fire-rated in the first place: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
At a healthcare site like Queen Mary's Hospital, 2.9 miles to the west of Joyden's Wood, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point so we know it sits within the tested range.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter and we work within those limits.
