Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Bat & Ball Enterprise Centre, close to Greatness?
Yes. Our area takes in Greatness and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bat & Ball Enterprise Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does a hotel in Greatness need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is your work guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Greatness
If you look after more than one building, a single sealant contractor saves a lot of chasing. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us, handled with the same process each time: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. For sites in Greatness, the quickest start is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a list of addresses. Site teams most often ask us about messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, across floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and movement joints in walls and floors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Greatness, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
The most common commercial job in Greatness is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
In a smaller place such as Greatness, commercial buildings are typically a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. Each job is modest, yet a joint in a small café needs the same cutting out, cleaning and sealing as one in a city office.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Greatness
Greatness lies roughly 19 miles out from central London. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. The area within 2 miles of Greatness holds a number of hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
For tenants and agents on sites such as Bat & Ball Enterprise Centre, which lies north-west of Greatness, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. Offices and shops close to stations such as Bat & Ball station, under half a mile to the west of Greatness, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
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. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control.

When to call us in Greatness
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
Sites a few miles apart, such as Bat & Ball Enterprise Centre and Sevenoaks Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
