Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Alves?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can the sealant on our Alves premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
How do we get a quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, then a fixed quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Alves
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. Most enquiries involve leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, on floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Alves from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Occupied buildings in Alves need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Around smaller places such as Alves, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Alves, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Alves before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What you get with us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Clear, fixed quotes
- One contact handling all your sites
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints

Common problems we fix in Alves
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents

Cost factors for sealant joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
