Your questions answered
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Chignall Smealy?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is Chignall Smealy too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing typically costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. Around Chignall Smealy, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Common problems we fix in Chignall Smealy
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
Whatever the building in Chignall Smealy, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, which is how mould gets back in. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
What the job involves on each surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Brickwork, blockwork and floor slabs all have movement joints that need a flexible seal. Failed seals let grit and water in, and the edges start to suffer. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
