About our fire stopping in Pitch Place
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and hidden openings found during inspections. Searching for sealant specialists in Pitch Place? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Pitch Place often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

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. Around Pitch Place, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us

Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Pitch Place are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

What else we do in Pitch Place
Should maintenance staff do it?
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Compartments and services around Pitch Place
At about 37 miles from central London, Pitch Place is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Older community buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. For a hospital such as Haslemere and District Hospital, 3.9 miles south of Pitch Place, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.

How the job changes by surface
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. We reseal around them to the specified detail.
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Questions we are asked in Pitch Place
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Haslemere and District Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Pitch Place?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What we can’t put right
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
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
