Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Landlord and commercial work in Caulcott
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
FAQs for Caulcott
Is Caulcott in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Caulcott is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Caulcott within the area you cover?
Yes. Caulcott is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Caulcott?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
When to call us in Caulcott
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Community buildings like Heyford Park Chapel are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Workplaces and buildings in Caulcott

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
