Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work usually has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else.
How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Canewdon
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface. The enquiries we see most involve wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and external facade joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Canewdon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
The most common commercial job in Canewdon 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.
Business units in the countryside around places like Canewdon are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
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.

What we’re called out for in Canewdon
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath 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.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
A unit on an estate like Purdey's industrial estate, 2.9 miles south of Canewdon, normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
Canewdon: questions and answers
Can the sealant on our Canewdon premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Is Purdey's industrial estate, near Canewdon, within your area?
Yes, sites like Purdey's industrial estate are within our area, along with the rest of Canewdon. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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 seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords. Tell us how you issue work and we’ll fit in.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
