Fire stopping in Telham
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal. Site teams most often ask us about seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, across linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Whoever orders the work in Telham, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
A job near Telham is typically planned around one visit, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Telham can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Questions about Telham
Would you work within a site like Conquest Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Telham?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
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. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Why deal with it now?
Open penetrations multiply: every new cable or pipe adds another. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Telham, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- Specification-led, product-correct work

Signs you need fire stopping in Telham
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
Hotels like Priory House Hotel (to the north-west of Telham) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
Penetration seals near Telham
The area within 2 miles of Telham holds several hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. Telham is about 49 miles from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls; the gaps need the specified seal.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Chapel of the Ascension sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Conquest Hospital, 2.9 miles south-east of Telham, all have compartment walls crossed by services.

Anyone looking for fire stopping in TN33 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. For a building on Hastings Road, Starr's Green Lane and Starrs Mead or nearby, we can quote for service penetrations.

Other landmarks nearby include Hastings Castle (4.8 miles south-east) and Nortons Farm Museum (1.3 miles north-east). Not far away are Senlac Hill and Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way unless the designer specifies otherwise.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Telham
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
