Workplaces and buildings in Caversfield
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Bicester North station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Lawrence, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

About our fire rated sealant in Caversfield
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Caversfield, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Caversfield and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Caversfield
Do you cover Caversfield for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Caversfield is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Bicester North station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to seal over 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.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. 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.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. 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 a small place like Caversfield, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.

When to call us in Caversfield
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Managing a site like Southwold County Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
