What we’re called out for in Hungerford Green
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Water getting into the wall through a failed joint
- Joints where the bead has lost adhesion
- Movement joints with split or torn sealant
- Chipped joint edges on forklift routes
Schools such as The Downs School have movement joints in their walls and floors that are easy to overlook.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Proof of insurance

What else we do in Hungerford Green
Why it’s worth doing now in Hungerford Green
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Grit and water fill the gap and the material either side breaks up. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Around Hungerford Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why clients in Hungerford Green choose us
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What affects the price in Hungerford Green
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
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.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Structural movement beyond what the joints were designed for (that needs a structural engineer)
- Waterproofing layers buried beneath the sealant
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
