About our fire stopping in Newmarket
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. If you are dealing with fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Newmarket is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Newmarket often have services added during refurbishment. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

FAQs: Newmarket
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Newmarket?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Can you work at a site such as Gleann Seileach Business Park, by Newmarket?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Newmarket, Gleann Seileach Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Newmarket. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.

Why act early in Newmarket
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Newmarket before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Newmarket

What we’re called out for in Newmarket
Openings in fire-resisting walls usually appear when services are added or changed. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Openings left by services added after handover
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Western Isles Hospital (0.9 miles south of Newmarket) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Compartment walls and floors in Newmarket
A 2-mile radius around Newmarket takes in a number of hotels. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. Work on Newmarket has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Photos of each opening and the specification mean the right products make the trip.
On a site such as Gleann Seileach Business Park, 1 mile south of Newmarket, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.
