FAQs: Stubbings
Is Stubbings too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Berkshire College of Agriculture?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you seal openings left by new services?
Yes, where there is a specification for those walls and floors. Openings left by new services are among the most common jobs we see, and we reseal them to the specified detail.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
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 will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How we handle fire stopping in Stubbings
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. If you have expanding foam used as fire stopping and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, we can put it right.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, so check the product data first.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small compared with dozens found at once.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Compartment walls and floors in Stubbings
Stubbings lies roughly 29 miles out from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Hotels like Hurley House Hotel (0.8 miles north-west of Stubbings) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like St Mark's Hospital, 1.5 miles east of Stubbings, all have compartment walls crossed by services. For a unit at a centre such as Cliveden View Shopping Centre, which lies east of Stubbings, penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit.

How the job changes by surface
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area, and note anything we find that isn’t on it.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For a building around Stubbings, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Cost factors for service penetrations
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
