About our fire stopping in Temple Fortune
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance in Temple Fortune and nearby. If you have fire sealant pulled out of the opening and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, we can put it right, on service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Temple Fortune? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Fit-outs and M&E works in London buildings often leave service penetrations open behind ceilings and in risers. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you’ll hear it from us.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Do you need fire stopping in Temple Fortune?
Openings in fire-resisting walls usually appear when services are added or changed. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
Shop fits on retail sites such as Brent Cross Shopping Park, 1.3 miles south-west of Temple Fortune, can bring new services through fire-resisting walls between units, to be sealed with the specified product.

Questions about Temple Fortune
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Could you schedule work at a campus like Middlesex University for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. Approval sits with the designer, principal designer or building control. We will confirm the products and details used and agree any further records when we quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Temple Fortune can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Doing it in-house
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, so check the product data first.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open, not months later.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
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.
