How we handle fire rated sealant in Cricklewood
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Cricklewood. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have gaps left after a refit or conversion and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help.
London’s offices, shops, hotels, student accommodation and blocks of flats all have joints to look after, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Cricklewood needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Advice
FAQs for Cricklewood
Is parking an issue for fire rated sealant in Cricklewood?
Parking in Cricklewood, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is Cricklewood in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Cricklewood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What we are called out for in Cricklewood
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
As a London address, Cricklewood can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Service penetrations

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.

Fire rated sealant in Cricklewood: local notes
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Cricklewood station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Anson Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
