How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, so we’ll flag it if the detail needs a different product.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work typically has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
About our commercial sealant contractors in Farthing Street
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. We work on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Farthing Street, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
The most common commercial job in Farthing Street is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
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, and where a brand finish matters, the sealant colour is agreed first.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Farthing Street
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. In Farthing Street, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- 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 asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Your questions answered
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Farthing Street?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
What do you need from us to quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Farthing Street
The 2 miles around Farthing Street include two care or nursing homes. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms, often in colours that suit the décor. London premises normally come with a building manager, booked loading and house rules for contractors. Our planning starts from those rules rather than working round them later.
Parks like Glebe Farm Business Park (to the west of Farthing Street) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. For a job in Farthing Street, we confirm the ULEZ-compliant vehicle, the loading arrangements and where materials go before we arrive.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Common problems we fix in Farthing Street
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Offices and shops close to stations such as Orpington station, 2.6 miles to the north-east of Farthing Street, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
