What Charlton’s businesses ask us to seal
Charlton has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Charlton. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen; brand colours often come into it.
On a business park such as Sunbury International Business Centre, 0.8 miles north-east of Charlton, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters. Premises within reach of Upper Halliford station, 0.6 miles east of Charlton, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Charlton is about 1 mile west of Sunbury-on-Thames, in Surrey. Commercial clients in Charlton can call on us for sealant joints. 379 places across Surrey fall within our area, Charlton among them. There’s a separate page for London, about 16 miles away.

The countryside around Charlton includes St Ann's Hill and Ferris Meadow Lake.
Commercial mastic work in Charlton
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. If you are dealing with weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and movement joints packed with grit and debris, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Charlton, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Charlton can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Business units in the countryside around places like Charlton are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Charlton
Is Charlton too far out for you?
No. Places such as Charlton are covered as much as the big towns. 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.
Does your area include sites such as Sunbury International Business Centre, near Charlton?
Yes. We cover Charlton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Sunbury International Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
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 your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
Common problems we fix in Charlton
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
A business with units at Sunbury International Business Centre and Shepperton Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
What to look for in a quote

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.

What else we do in Charlton
Why it’s worth doing now in Charlton
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. For buildings around smaller places like Charlton, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
