Common questions from Old Knebworth clients
Is Old Knebworth off your patch?
Not at all. Old Knebworth 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.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Old Knebworth?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
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.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. 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. If you have external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Old Knebworth is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
We price commercial jobs in Old Knebworth from photographs, drawings or a site visit, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Old Knebworth are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Old Knebworth can form part of a wider programme.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Commercial sealant contractors in Old Knebworth: the local picture
At about 26 miles from central London, Old Knebworth is within reach of the capital. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Premises within reach of Knebworth station (1 mile east of Old Knebworth) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. For a hotel such as The Roebuck Hotel (1.2 miles north-east of Old Knebworth), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Sites a few miles apart, such as Arlington Business Park and Oaklands Retail Park, can share one programme and one point of contact.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Around Old Knebworth, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
