Fire stopping across Stud Green
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed 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. Rural sites near Stud Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- 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.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

A good quote starts with a clear picture: 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.

Fire stopping in Stud Green, done properly
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you have non-fire-rated filler around services and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, we can help, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Stud Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Stud Green 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What affects the price in Stud Green
These are the things that shape the price:
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Stud Green can form part of a wider programme across Windsor and Maidenhead.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
FAQs: Stud Green
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Stud Green?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Stud Green after a refit?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Is Stud Green in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Stud Green.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.

Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
In a school such as Holyport College, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.

What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
