Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Gubbion's Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller community and commercial buildings around Gubbion's Green have their own movement joints in walls and floors. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.

Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths of a joint can make sense short term. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s usually not far behind and repeated access costs add up. We can price a patch and a full reseal side by side. Converted and older buildings near places like Gubbion's Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
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.

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Quoting for work in Gubbion's Green
Before we quote, we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Changing the joint layout or spacing of a structure
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Precast concrete panel joints
- Blockwork control joints

FAQs: Gubbion's Green
Is a hospital such as William Julien Courtauld Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work at a site such as Banters Lane Business Park, by Gubbion's Green?
Yes, sites like Banters Lane Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Gubbion's Green. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
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.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
