Do you need fire rated sealant in Kensal Rise?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Schools such as Ark Franklin Primary Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Kensal Rise
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Kensal Rise, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a London area like Kensal Rise, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Kensal Rise
Do you take on hotel work around Kensal Rise?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Kensal Rise?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.

As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Kensal Rise
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Kensal Rise station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Kensal Rise is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What else we do in Kensal Rise
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Why act early in Kensal Rise
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
