Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Doddington
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). The enquiries we see most involve weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, across movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Doddington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
The most common commercial job in Doddington is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
Work in smaller places such as Doddington tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Doddington
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Doddington. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What affects the price in Doddington
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Leave it or put it right?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, which is where the lasting value is. For buildings around smaller places like Doddington, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Rural sites near Doddington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
What we’re called out for in Doddington
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Look out for the following:
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
Offices and shops close to stations such as Teynham station, 4 miles north-east of Doddington, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
