How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs near Knock are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Before we start on site

Sealant applicators in Knock
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. Site teams most often ask us about black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and washrooms and tea points. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Knock, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In Knock, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Travel to smaller places such as Knock is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photographs and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Why it’s worth doing now in Knock
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, which is where the lasting value is. For buildings near Knock, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- CHAS accredited
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.
Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. A few splits this year normally mean more next year. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Knock: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Knock, such as Parkend Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Knock and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Parkend Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can being near the sea in Knock affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
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.
Surface by 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, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price, with colours confirmed for the product chosen.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
Working on commercial sites near Knock
Knock sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Island jobs, Knock among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Photos and a full list before we travel, with any colour references, mean everything comes on the first crossing.
Whatever the building in Knock, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material. Industrial estates such as Parkend Industrial Estate, 3 miles west of Knock, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.
