Why deal with it now?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We’ll suggest an order, worst sealant joints first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Inkpen Common, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common questions from Inkpen Common clients
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Inkpen Common?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Inkpen Common?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you cover Inkpen Common?
Yes. Inkpen Common falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Inkpen Common are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
