Your questions answered
Is Holywell off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will our hotel in Holywell need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
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. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
Is your work guaranteed?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee from handover. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves.
How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Holywell
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. If you’re dealing with sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Holywell it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Holywell can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
In a smaller place such as Holywell, commercial buildings are usually a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are.
Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What Holywell’s businesses ask us to seal
Holywell sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Holywell has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
A business with units at Courtlands Road Industrial Estate and Britland Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Courtlands Road Industrial Estate, 1.8 miles north of Holywell, need neat joints where customers see them. Shopping centres and retail parks such as Admiral Retail Park, 2.6 miles north-east of Holywell, see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter.

Why deal with it now?
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
