Questions about Cold Ash
Is Cold Ash too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cold Ash, such as Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cold Ash, Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
Is your work guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Smaller jobs around Cold Ash can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

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. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Sites a few miles apart, such as Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate and Turnpike Road Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. Units at places like 9Yards Retail Park (2.3 miles south-west of Cold Ash) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

Cost factors for sealant joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
