Common questions from Shipton-under-Wychwood clients
Is Shipton-under-Wychwood too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do hotels near Shipton-under-Wychwood have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Which site documents can you send us?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and we’ll confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
Is your work guaranteed?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee, starting at sign-off. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Older rural buildings around Shipton-under-Wychwood move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
