What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What we are called out for in Far Thorpe Green
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Older buildings near Far Thorpe Green, from historic houses such as Thorpe Hall, 1.4 miles to the south-east of Far Thorpe Green, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Far Thorpe Green: questions and answers
Is Far Thorpe Green too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Weeley station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
