Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early. If anything looks wrong, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a photo.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
Commercial sealant contractors in Ashford
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. If you have messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ashford it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
The most common commercial job in Ashford is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
In and around smaller places such as Ashford, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Rural sites near Ashford may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. We will recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Questions we are asked in Ashford
Is Fordingbridge Business Park, near Ashford, within your area?
Yes, sites like Fordingbridge Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Ashford. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Ashford too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common problems we fix in Ashford
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. New silicone has nothing to key into 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.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
Refits at hotels like Greyhound Hotel (to the east of Ashford) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Working on commercial sites near Ashford
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Ashford. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
On a business park such as Fordingbridge Business Park, less than half a mile to the south-west of Ashford, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters. Occupiers with premises at both Fordingbridge Business Park and Arch Farm Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
