From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Fordham Heath, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos 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.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- 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.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Fordham Heath

Shops and cafés around stations like Marks Tey station (2.1 miles south-west of Fordham Heath) trade from early, so work is timed around them. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Stane Retail Park and Stanway Retail Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

FAQs: Fordham Heath
Will you take on work at estates like Stane Retail Park, close to Fordham Heath?
Yes, sites like Stane Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fordham Heath. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Fordham Heath too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan the job around it.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Cost factors for sealant joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Fordham Heath?
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. That normally means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with: a bead laid too thin, an over-stretched joint or the wrong movement class. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
Shop fits at places like Stane Retail Park, 1.2 miles south-east of Fordham Heath, leave counters, frontages and floor edges where the sealant colour is part of the finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Different surfaces, different methods
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Close-up photographs or a site visit tell us what’s needed, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control.
