What the job involves on each surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
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.
Commercial sealant contractors in Coombe, done properly
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. If you’re dealing with gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Coombe it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
A lot of what we do in Coombe is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
In London, most commercial sealant work happens in buildings that stay open: occupied offices, ground-floor retail under residential floors and busy shared entrances. Work is split into zones agreed with the building or facilities manager, so the premises keep working around us.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Coombe need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Is Twin Bridges Business Park, near Coombe, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Coombe and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Twin Bridges Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
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.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Other services in Coombe
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Coombe can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
What Coombe’s businesses ask us to seal
The area within 2 miles of Coombe holds plenty of hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. In London, commercial buildings often have managed loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems. We fit into those systems and phase the work so the building keeps operating.
A hotel such as Croydon Park Hotel, 1.1 miles to the north-west of Coombe, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. Sites a few miles apart, such as Twin Bridges Business Park and Capital Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact. Units at places like Whitgift Centre, 1.6 miles to the north-west of Coombe, are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.
Coombe is about 1 mile east of Croydon, in Greater London. Looking for commercial sealant contractors in Coombe? We can help. We work across 764 places in Greater London, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, some 9 miles away.

Green spaces nearby include Bramley Bank and Duppas Hill.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
Why deal with it now?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
