About our fire stopping in North Camp
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance in North Camp and nearby. If you have openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover North Camp? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around North Camp, penetration and linear seals tend to be one-building jobs. Send the specification, drawings or photos of the openings and we’ll quote to suit.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Where services cross fire walls in North Camp
Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. The area within 2 miles of North Camp holds a good number of hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
Office fit-outs on sites such as Farnborough Business Park (0.6 miles north-west of North Camp) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it. Hotels like Falcon Hotel (under half a mile north-west of North Camp) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.
North Camp is about 1 mile south-east of Farnborough, in Hampshire. Any commercial site in North Camp is covered. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, large and small. We also cover Reading, some 15 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: GU14 and GU11 for service penetrations. Streets here include Rae Road, Etps Road and Camp Road. You’ll find North Camp on or near the A3011, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. We also cover Mytchett (1 mile north-east), Farnborough (1 mile north-west), Ash Vale (1 mile south-east), Southwood (2 miles west) and Cove (2 miles north-west) for service penetrations. Nearby towns on our patch include Basingstoke (15 miles west), Fleet (4 miles west), Alton (13 miles south-west), Yateley (5 miles north-west), Bordon (12 miles south-west) and Hook (9 miles west).
Landmarks near North Camp
In North Camp, that means premises near Ramillies Park, National Aerospace Library and The Tumble Down Dick Pub. North Camp’s nearest station is North Camp station, roughly 0.9 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Royal Army Dental Corps Historical Museum (0.7 miles south) and Frimley Park Hospital (2.7 miles north). For a walk, there’s Danger Hill and Rowhill Nature Reserve.
When to call us in North Camp
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Look out for the following:
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
Large healthcare estates like Frimley Park Hospital (to the north of North Camp) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we will never swap a specified collar for sealant.
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. We reseal around them to the specified detail.
Questions about North Camp
Is North Camp off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in North Camp?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Camp
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small and avoids a much larger catch-up later. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Work in places the size of North Camp is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space

What else we do in North Camp
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
