How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Horney Common, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier, avoiding a patchwork.
Plan resealing of visible joints before they look tired. A planned reseal avoids a run of patch repairs.

Why act early in Horney Common
Leaving a failed coloured joint risks more than appearance. Behind the bead, moisture can damage substrates and finishes, so resealing protects the finishes as well as the look. Converted and older buildings near places like Horney Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Horney Common: questions and answers
Is Horney Common off your patch?
Not at all. Horney Common is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will our hotel in Horney Common need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. We will tell you which colour is closest at quote stage.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let. Horney Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.

If you run an office at a site such as Ashdown Business Park, 1.5 miles to the south of Horney Common, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

When to call us in Horney Common
A change of finish can leave existing sealant mismatched. Refurbishments and rebrands often bring a new colour scheme that the sealant has to follow.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
Refits at hotels like Chequers Hotel (1.2 miles south of Horney Common) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
