Fire stopping across Woodgreen
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, 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, and the work normally takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For a building around Woodgreen, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Fire stopping in Woodgreen
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Woodgreen? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Quoting for work in Woodgreen
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Compartment walls and floors in Woodgreen
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. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Schools such as Breamore Church of England Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. Halls and meeting rooms at places like St Boniface sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. For a unit at a site such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles south-west of Woodgreen, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall.
Woodgreen is in Hampshire. Anywhere in SP6, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Woodgreen is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area, about 16 miles away.
If you need fire stopping in SP6, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Among the streets we cover are High Street, Love Lane and Grace Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Common questions from Woodgreen clients
Is Woodgreen off your patch?
Not at all. Woodgreen is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Woodgreen?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
