About our commercial sealant contractors in Charing
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and washrooms and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are layers of sealant, all of them failing and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy. For commercial sealant work in Charing, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
We price commercial jobs in Charing from photographs, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
Around smaller places such as Charing, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Those conversions put new frames and partitions against old brick, stone or timber, so each joint needs a product chosen for both surfaces.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Charing as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.

- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Commercial sealant contractors in Charing: the local picture
Charing sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings. At about 43 miles from central London, Charing is within reach of the capital. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
Shops and cafés around stations like Charing station (under half a mile south-west of Charing) trade from early, so work is timed around them. For any commercial premises in Charing, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

Common questions from Charing clients
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Charing?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Charing?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is Charing in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Charing.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
