Commercial sealant contractors in Colbury, done properly
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant. We work on floor and threshold joints, movement joints in walls and floors and washrooms and tea points, and what we are called in for most is smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Colbury tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In an occupied building in Colbury, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
A job in a smaller place like Colbury is typically a single building. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions about Colbury
Is Colbury off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Colbury affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Working on commercial sites near Colbury
Colbury is within about 2 miles of the coast. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. Rainfall across the South East, Colbury included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
Parks like Rushington Business Park (to the north-east of Colbury) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. Offices and shops close to stations such as Ashurst New Forest station (1.2 miles south-west of Colbury) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. A business with units at Rushington Business Park and Hounsdown Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Colbury is about 1 mile south of Totton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO40, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Colbury among them.
We cover the SO40 postcode districts. Just outside Colbury, we also work in Ashurst (1 mile west), Lyndhurst (4 miles south-west), Emery Down (4 miles south-west), Balmerlawn (6 miles south-west) and Brockenhurst (6 miles south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Winchester (14 miles north-east), Eastleigh (8 miles north-east), Fareham (14 miles east), Chandler's Ford (8 miles north-east), Hedge End (9 miles east) and Lymington (10 miles south).

In Colbury, that means premises near Hounsdown School and The Forest Inn. For rail, the closest station is Ashurst New Forest station, about 1.2 miles south-west. Nearby you will also find Ashurst Hospital (1 mile south-west) and National Dairy Museum (less than half a mile south). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of customers. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. Where the remaining sealant is just as old, it tends to fail soon after, and a second visit means paying for access and set-up again. We can price both options so you can decide on the facts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Colbury. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Colbury, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
