How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Several jobs near Worting can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Questions about Worting
Is a smaller place like Worting outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Worting after a refit?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Openings above suspended ceilings are easy to miss. We follow your schedule area by area and tell you about openings outside the list.
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
Leave it or put it right?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What we’re called out for in Worting
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are the usual culprits.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
Industrial units on estates such as West Ham Industrial Estate, 1.1 miles east of Worting, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.

Where services cross fire walls in Worting
Worting is about 48 miles from central London. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new 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. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
In a building such as Church of St Thomas A Becket, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Holiday works at schools like Chiltern Primary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.
