- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Elmdon, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or 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.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all.
For premises near Great Chesterford station, 3 miles north-east of Elmdon, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Common questions from Elmdon clients
Does your area include sites such as Abbey Barns Business Park, near Elmdon?
Yes, sites like Abbey Barns Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Elmdon. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Elmdon off your patch?
No. Places such as Elmdon are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do we get a quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, we can. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and we’ll put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. 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.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Elmdon
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
On a business park such as Abbey Barns Business Park, 2.9 miles to the north-east of Elmdon, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
