When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
About our fire stopping in Mapesbury
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you have hidden openings found during inspections and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, we can help, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Mapesbury? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. We install what the designer or fire engineer has specified, and if you need records of the work, tell us and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Why deal with it now?
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Mapesbury takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- One number for every site we cover
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Public liability insurance in place

Questions about Mapesbury
Could you schedule work at a campus like Westminster University for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on jobs in Mapesbury where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Is Mapesbury in your area?
Yes. Mapesbury falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.

Penetration seals near Mapesbury
Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Mapesbury. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For a site team at a college like Regent College (0.6 miles west of Mapesbury), fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works. At a university such as Westminster University (2.5 miles north-west of Mapesbury), labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work. On estates like Wembley Stadium Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles north-east of Mapesbury, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
