What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
Sealant applicators in Borden
We’ve applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. We work on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Borden is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Occupied buildings in Borden need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Borden tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions about Borden
Is a smaller place like Borden outside your area?
Not at all. Borden is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Borden?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance, until its cure time has passed.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Quoting for work in Borden
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. You can also send details through our quote form.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Borden, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for 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.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Common problems we fix in Borden
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade will all fail early. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason, and many specifications refer to it.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
For premises near Liss station (3.6 miles north-west of Borden), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Working on commercial sites near Borden
Borden is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. Borden lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all.
A lasting commercial joint around Borden begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Borden is about 5 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Anywhere in GU30, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Borden is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex for sealant joints. Portsmouth is covered too, around 18 miles from Borden.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Borden
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Borden can form part of a wider programme.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
