Fire stopping in Jury's Gap, done properly
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. If you have fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and old intumescent sealant that has split away, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Jury's Gap? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller places such as Jury's Gap still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What happens if it’s left?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these and the building feels the difference. Converted and older buildings near places like Jury's Gap tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Your questions answered
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Jury's Gap?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested detail, and telling you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Is a smaller place like Jury's Gap outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Signs you need fire stopping in Jury's Gap
Linear gaps fail where a fire-resisting wall meets a slab, soffit or another wall. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint, and a product not tested for that movement may crack. Linear joint details set a width range and movement capability, and the seal has to sit within them.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
For buildings in and around Jury's Gap, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
