Advice
How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Fords Farm
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we’re there. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. If you are dealing with gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, we can put it right, on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Fords Farm is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
On a typical commercial building in Fords Farm, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Around smaller places such as Fords Farm, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Those conversions put new frames and partitions against old brick, stone or timber, so each joint needs a product chosen for both surfaces.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings.
A hotel such as Calcot Hotel (1 mile west of Fords Farm) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. For premises near Reading Green Park station (1.4 miles south-east of Fords Farm), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Fords Farm?
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 it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
For tenants and agents on sites such as British Estates Business Park (less than half a mile north-east of Fords Farm), office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Proof of insurance
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

What else we do in Fords Farm
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Fords Farm close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is a smaller place like Fords Farm outside your area?
Not at all. Fords Farm is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
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, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Why act early in Fords Farm
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s usually close behind, and a second visit means paying for access and set-up again. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side. In a smaller place such as Fords Farm, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
