Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Watford General Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Colney Butts off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Colney Butts need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

Advice
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done

What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Small buildings around Colney Butts suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
