Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Commercial mastic work in Chatham
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes, handled with the same process each time: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and a 12-month guarantee once it’s signed off. To get a programme moving in Chatham, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the site addresses. If you are dealing with a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Chatham is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Chatham, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Places the size of Chatham typically have a broad commercial mix: business parks, retail centres, hotels, surgeries and offices above the high street. For anyone looking after more than one of them, one contractor and one point of contact for the sealant keeps things simple.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.
What else we do in Chatham
Commercial clients in Chatham
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Chatham
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. How long one lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure to sun and weather, the cleaning regime, the traffic and the product itself. In commercial buildings those factors tend to act together, which is why regular inspection pays.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
Units at retail parks like Horsted Retail Park, 1.1 miles to the west of Chatham, change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. On a busy site in a large place like Chatham, a failed joint gets worse with every day of use, until a reseal turns into a repair. Catching it early keeps the fix simple.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Sites in a big town such as Chatham frequently have reception sign-in, inductions and permits to work. Tell us about inductions, permits and site hours so the plan fits.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Chatham: questions and answers
Is Horsted Retail Park, near Chatham, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Chatham, Horsted Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will our hotel in Chatham need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
How do we get a quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, we can. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and we will put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
