What this work involves
Assess old joints and underlying connections. Establish where a joint is decorative and where it has a protective function.
- Substrate and joint size
- Product, colour and movement
- Preparation and curing
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Avoid new internal finishes concealing unresolved substrate defects.
What the drawing needs to explain
Mark intact, damaged and unassessed areas on photographs. Add the old-to-new junction detail with proposed materials and treatment.
How to review the result
Compare completed repairs with the approved sample area. Review junctions and material behaviour; colour difference alone does not determine execution quality.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on joint length, removal work, access and materials. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for sealant joints & finishing. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging sealant joints & finishing?
Renewing sealant will not repair defective underlying waterproofing. Investigate recurring leaks first.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
