What the job involves on each surface

Shop fronts and retail fit-outs

Retail work normally has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us.

Commercial kitchens and tea points

A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.

Sealant specialists in Becontree

A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. Most enquiries involve movement joints packed with grit and debris and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, on floor and threshold joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Becontree it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Becontree can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.

Much of the planning for a London commercial job is about getting in and out: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. Once that’s settled, the sealant joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Commercial sealant contractors in Becontree: the local picture

Becontree has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Becontree. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean.

Offices and shops close to stations such as Chadwell Heath station, 1.5 miles to the north-west of Becontree, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you run an office at a site such as Business Centre, which lies north-east of Becontree, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. A business with units at Business Centre and Merrielands Retail Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

Becontree is about 2 miles north-east of Barking, in Greater London. Across the RM9 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Becontree is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for sealant joints. There’s a separate page for London, about 11 miles away.

We take on sealant joints across the RM9, RM10 and RM8 postcode area, whatever the building. For a building on Wood Lane, Eliot Road and Maxey Road or nearby, we can quote for sealant joints.

Just outside Becontree, we also work in Dagenham (1 mile south-east), Becontree Heath (1 mile north), Castle Green (1 mile south-west), Dagenham Green (1 mile south) and Goodmayes (2 miles north-west). Further afield, our area takes in London (11 miles west), City of Westminster (13 miles west), Marylebone (13 miles west), Kensington (15 miles west), St Pancras (11 miles west) and Shoreditch (10 miles west).

Owners, agents and contractors

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Becontree can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.

When to bring in a specialist

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

FAQs: Becontree

Is Business Centre, near Becontree, within your area?

Yes. We cover Becontree and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Does a hotel in Becontree need to shut while its sealant is renewed?

Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.

How long does a job like this take?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

How long do sealant joints last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.

Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?

It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

How a job runs

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. In Becontree, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.

  1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
  2. The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
  3. Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
  4. Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
  5. The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
  6. Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Point out any areas we must not close

Getting a fixed quote

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Related advice

Why deal with it now?

Putting off a reseal usually moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.

The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What sets the cost

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • How accessible the joints are
  • The total length or number of joints
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

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

A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • Your programme or deadline
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height

For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
