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.
Assess floor, cupboard, wall and ceiling through their shared junctions.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw one bespoke junction at a large scale with every adjoining finish layer. Identify who takes final dimensions and which substrate must be ready for that measurement.
How to review the result
Use the approved sample as a reference and assess junctions under the agreed lighting. Check operation and maintenance access as well as the visible finish.
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
