What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Primrose Hill
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
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 Primrose Hill needs to stay open, work can be planned outside normal hours.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Primrose Hill as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Primrose Hill
Landlords and letting agents in Primrose Hill can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Primrose Hill
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Look out for these signs:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
As a London address, Primrose Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Questions from Primrose Hill
Is parking a problem for a job in Primrose Hill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you take on hotel work around Primrose Hill?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you come to Primrose Hill?
We do. Primrose Hill is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.

Commercial buildings in Primrose Hill
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Primrose Hill. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What affects the quote in Primrose Hill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In Primrose Hill, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
