Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Sealant specialists in Five Wents
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, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). If you are dealing with frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and movement joints packed with grit and debris, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Five Wents start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A lot of what we do in Five Wents is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Five Wents are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
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. If others near Five Wents need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
Common problems we fix in Five Wents
No sealant joint is permanent. 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, so periodic inspection matters more than any date on a schedule.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Park Wood Trading Estate and Orchard Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Why deal with it now?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. Planning the work across a year or a portfolio means fewer separate visits and a predictable spend. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. Halls, stores and units around places like Five Wents may not be checked every day, 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. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Your questions answered
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Five Wents?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Five Wents, such as Park Wood Trading Estate?
Yes. We cover Five Wents and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Park Wood Trading Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is your work guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
