Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, which is how mould gets back in. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.

Rural business units near smaller places such as Acol are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Sealant on show in Acol’s commercial buildings
Acol is within about 2 miles of the coast. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Acol is about 61 miles from central London. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all.
For tenants and agents on sites such as Manston Business Park (0.6 miles south-east of Acol), office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. Offices and shops close to stations such as Birchington-On-Sea station (1.5 miles north of Acol) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Acol
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Manston Business Park and The Oaks Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
