Fire rated sealant in Neasden
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Across London, offices, shops, hotels, student halls and blocks of flats all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables passing through walls. Where a building in Neasden needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Neasden as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Fire rated sealant in Neasden: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
For buildings such as St Catherine's Church Neasden with St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northview Junior and Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we’re called out for in Neasden
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Brent Cross West station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. In Neasden, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
