Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Fordcombe can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Fordcombe
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, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. If you have black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Fordcombe from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
The most common commercial job in Fordcombe is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
A job in a smaller place like Fordcombe is usually a single building. We’ll want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Smaller jobs around Fordcombe can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Fordcombe
Fordcombe lies roughly 27 miles out from central London. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site. Fordcombe is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
If you run an office at a site such as Speldhurst Business Park, which lies east of Fordcombe, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Fordcombe?
In wet areas the enemy is usually mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant, and once established it rarely cleans out. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Premises within reach of Ashurst Kent station, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Fordcombe, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
Fordcombe: questions and answers
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Fordcombe?
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.
Does your area include sites such as Speldhurst Business Park, near Fordcombe?
Yes, sites like Speldhurst Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fordcombe. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can areas stay open during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we’re sealing.
What do you need from us to quote?
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.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
