When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
Commercial mastic work in Gurnard
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). The enquiries we see most involve window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, on washrooms and tea points, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Gurnard is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
On a typical commercial building in Gurnard, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
A job in a smaller place like Gurnard is typically a single building. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What else we do in Gurnard
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
A quote for sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Why act early in Gurnard
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Around Gurnard, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Gurnard
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.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
For tenants and agents on sites such as Island Technology Park, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Gurnard, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Gurnard
Gurnard sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Gurnard sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Refits at hotels like New Holmwood Hotel (to the north-east of Gurnard) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
