Sealant specialists in Folly Town
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. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). We work on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Folly Town it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Folly Town, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Folly Town tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
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, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
Folly Town: questions and answers
Is Folly Town too far out for you?
Not at all. Folly Town is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Folly Town?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is your work guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, we can. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

- The size and state of each joint
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What else we do in Folly Town
What we are called out for in Folly Town
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, which is why regular inspection pays.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
Shops and cafés around stations like Wye station (2.7 miles north-west of Folly Town) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Before you book anyone
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
