What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Halls, stores and units around places like Chilton Foliat may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Common questions from Chilton Foliat clients
Do hotels near Chilton Foliat have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Will you take on work at estates like Charnham Business Park, close to Chilton Foliat?
Yes. We cover Chilton Foliat and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Charnham Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. A few splits this year typically mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work usually has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, working in sections where that helps.
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t normally be cleaned out. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal.
Common problems we fix in Chilton Foliat
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
A hotel such as Littlecote House Hotel (1 mile west of Chilton Foliat) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
