How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from part of a day to a couple of weeks, depending on joint lengths, widths and access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Mowden, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- Each joint is inspected and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. How long that takes depends on the product, the temperature and the depth of the joint. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors, well after the seal first opened. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
Questions about Mowden
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Priory Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Mowden, such as Hedgerows Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Mowden, Hedgerows Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you cover Mowden?
Yes. We cover Mowden, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

What affects the price in Mowden
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Why deal with it now?
Doing joint resealing alongside other planned works can save on access. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme, as damage continues meanwhile. We can split the scope into urgent and planned. Halls, stores and units around places like Mowden may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
