Fire stopping for Ringwood sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
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.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
About our fire stopping in Ringwood
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. If you are dealing with fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ringwood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like Ringwood is normally a single building at a time. Send the specification, drawings or photographs of the openings and we will quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Your questions answered
Can work in a care setting near Ringwood go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Ringwood?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Our process
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Several jobs near Ringwood can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Compartment walls and floors in Ringwood
Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Ringwood. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements.

On estates like Carvers Industrial Estate, less than half a mile to the west of Ringwood, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. In a hotel such as The Crown Hotel, less than half a mile west of Ringwood, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. For a building such as Trinity Congregational Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.

Surface by surface
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. The tested detail sets the pipe size range, gap, depth and whether insulation can stay on and we confirm each before sealing.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork usually needs a different solution set by the designer.
Quoting for work in Ringwood
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Commercial clients in Ringwood
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
