What else we do in Ickleton
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Share your contractor requirements early
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Ickleton
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building around Ickleton, 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.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
