Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Castle Town can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- You get a fixed quote with the product and its movement capability stated.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, flagging any broken edges that need repair before sealing.
- Backing rod goes in at the right depth, or bond-breaker tape where the joint is shallow.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Report split or peeling joint sealant early
- Inspect exposed joints once the cold weather has passed
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Keep product details with the building records for the next reseal
Snow ploughs and scrapers catch on joint lines. Raising blades over joints where possible protects the seal, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Quoting for work in Castle Town
To price the job, we consider:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
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.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Questions about Castle Town
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Southlands Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you take on work at estates like Mackley Industrial Estate, close to Castle Town?
Yes. We cover Castle Town and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Mackley Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
When to call us in Castle Town
Repeated failure often traces back to the wrong product. Products not classed for the movement fail early. BS EN ISO 11600 classifies building sealants by movement capability, and specifications often refer to it.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Previous reseals laid over old sealant
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed
- Leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below
Warehouse floors on estates like Mackley Industrial Estate (1.7 miles north-east of Castle Town) carry pallet trucks and forklifts over every saw-cut joint.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Why it’s worth doing now in Castle Town
Re-sealing with the same product that failed is often a false economy. If the joint is too narrow or the product wrong for the movement, it needs a different approach, and we will say so before quoting. Older rural buildings around Castle Town move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
