How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Friern Barnet
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on window and door perimeters, external facade joints and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are layers of sealant, all of them failing and expansion joints with the sealant torn out. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Friern Barnet tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Friern Barnet can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Buildings in a London area such as Friern Barnet rarely close for maintenance: 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Commercial premises in Friern Barnet
There are six care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Friern Barnet. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound. A 2-mile radius around Friern Barnet takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
If you look after units at a retail site such as Friern Bridge Retail Park, under half a mile to the east of Friern Barnet, shopfront perimeters and shop-fit joints are where a matched colour shows. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Friern Bridge Retail Park and Brunswick Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Refits at hotels like National Hotel (to the south of Friern Barnet) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. In Friern Barnet, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.

Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?

How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control, and we install to the specification.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
