Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. In Greenhill, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

About our fire stopping in Greenhill
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it, matching the product and detail it names. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. If you’re dealing with expanding foam used as fire stopping and seals that don’t match their tested detail, we can help, on cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Greenhill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a London area such as Greenhill, buildings are refitted often, and every new cable, pipe or duct through a fire-resisting wall or floor leaves a gap. Each service penetration gets fire-rated or intumescent sealant if that’s what is specified, laid to the product’s tested arrangement.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Commercial clients in Greenhill
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Fire-rated sealing for Greenhill buildings
Greenhill has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. In London buildings, frequent fit-outs and M&E changes are a common reason fire stopping gets breached. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, we install it to the tested detail under the building’s permit-to-work arrangements.
For a unit at a centre such as St. George's Shopping Centre, under half a mile to the south-west of Greenhill, penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit. Colleges such as Harrow College (under half a mile south of Greenhill) add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.
Greenhill is about 1 mile north-east of Harrow, in Greater London. We cover Greenhill and the rest of Greater London, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 764 places in Greater London, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page (12 miles or so).
If you need fire stopping in HA1, HA3 and HA2, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your site is on Lyon Road, Hill Road and Byron Road or close by, send details and we’ll quote for service penetrations. Nearby places we also cover include Wealdstone (1 mile north), Northwick Park (1 mile south-east), Harrow (1 mile south-west), Kenton (1 mile east) and Roxeth (1 mile south-west). Bigger towns within reach include London (12 miles south-east), City of Westminster (9 miles south-east), Marylebone (9 miles south-east), Kensington (8 miles south-east), St Pancras (10 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (12 miles east).
Around Greenhill
In Greenhill, that means premises near Royal Oak pub, Northwick Park and Harrow High School and the streets around them. Greenhill has its own railway station: Harrow-on-the-Hill station. A little further out are St. Anns (less than half a mile south-west) and Hilfield Castle (4.8 miles north). For a walk, there’s Masons Field and Northala Fields.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open, not months later.
Questions about Greenhill
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Greenhill?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Northwick Park Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When to call us in Greenhill
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
Offices at parks like Harrovian Business Village, 0.5 miles to the south-west of Greenhill, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What site paperwork they can supply
How the job changes by surface
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter.
