Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Substrate edges that need repairing first

- Balcony and threshold joints
Why act early in Chigwell Row
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Converted and older buildings near places like Chigwell Row tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

- Failed material removed, not covered up
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Your questions answered
Is Chigwell Row too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does your area include sites such as Epping Forest Shopping Park, near Chigwell Row?
Yes, sites like Epping Forest Shopping Park are within our area, along with the rest of Chigwell Row. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Chigwell Row are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.

- Water getting in round frames after rain

When to bring in a specialist
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.
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.
