Sealant specialists in Ashurst Wood
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). The enquiries we see most involve frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, across movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we are sealing for as long as the cure needs.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What do you need from us to quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. Around Ashurst Wood, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Ashurst Wood, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. Failed seals let grit and water in, and the edges start to suffer. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
Keep an eye out for other trades after we have gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll price putting it right.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
