Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Commercial sealant contractors in Balham, done properly
If you look after more than one building, a single sealant contractor saves a lot of chasing. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. To get a programme moving in Balham, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site addresses. We work on washrooms and tea points, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and what we’re called in for most is external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and movement joints packed with grit and debris.

Quotes for commercial sealant in Balham can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, and the scope is set out in writing.
Around Balham, as across the capital, commercial buildings range from converted period premises to recent office and mixed-use blocks, so one job can involve stone, brick, powder-coated frames and laminate in a single visit. The right product goes on each, in a colour chosen to suit where the joint is seen.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Balham as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Balham
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Zennor Road Industrial Estate (to the east of Balham) need neat joints where clients see them.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In Balham, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Surface by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. Failed seals let grit and water in, and the edges start to suffer. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Balham
London premises usually come with a building manager, booked loading and house rules for contractors. We work within them, one zone at a time. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Balham. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal; brand colours often come into it.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Zennor Road Industrial Estate and Ellerslie Square Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. For a shop at a centre such as Priory Retail Park (2.2 miles south-west of Balham), tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures.

Balham: questions and answers

Do you take on jobs in Balham where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Is Balham in your area?
Yes. Balham is in our area. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Is your work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves, so it isn’t something we do.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
