Common problems we fix in Chartridge
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. How long one lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure to sun and weather, the cleaning regime, the traffic and the product itself. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once.
Look out for the following:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
On a business park such as Waterside Business Park, which lies south-east of Chartridge, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Proof of insurance
Sealant specialists in Chartridge
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Site teams most often ask us about external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, across movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints. Most enquiries from Chartridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In an occupied building in Chartridge, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Business units in the countryside around places like Chartridge are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Chartridge
Questions we’re asked in Chartridge
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Chartridge?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Is Chartridge off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords as well as contractors. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Chartridge can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Commercial premises in Chartridge
Chartridge 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. At about 28 miles from central London, Chartridge is within reach of the capital. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
Shops and cafés around stations like Great Missenden station, 3.1 miles south-west of Chartridge, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Chartridge is about 2 miles north-west of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire.

Cost factors for sealant joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chartridge
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, and they’re where most failures begin. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. For buildings around smaller places like Chartridge, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Fully insured

Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Close-up photos or a site visit tell us what’s needed, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. We will recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement.
