Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Close-up photos or a site visit tell us what’s needed, with colours confirmed for the product chosen.
Sealant specialists in Gushmere
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. If you have messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Gushmere it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
If you look after more than one building near Gushmere, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Work in smaller places such as Gushmere tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We’ll want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Gushmere: questions and answers
Can the sealant on our Gushmere premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is a smaller place like Gushmere outside your area?
No. Places such as Gushmere are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
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 will look at it.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can areas stay open during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For work around Gushmere, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- 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 speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Gushmere
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. Typically the movement was too much for the sealant chosen. Replacing it like for like rarely holds, so width, depth and product are checked before we quote.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
Shops and cafés around stations like Selling station (to the east of Gushmere) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
What Gushmere’s businesses ask us to seal
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. Gushmere is about 47 miles from central London. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
In hotels such as Cave Hotel and Golf Resort (1.2 miles north of Gushmere), refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Gushmere is about 3 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. Any commercial site in Gushmere is covered. Gushmere is one of 931 places we cover in Kent for sealant joints. We also cover London, some 47 miles away.

Nearby towns on our patch include Ashford (10 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles east), Sittingbourne (9 miles north-west), Whitstable (7 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles north-west) and Herne Bay (11 miles north-east).
Around Gushmere
Around Gushmere, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Sondes Arms and Mount Ephraim Gardens. Gushmere’s nearest station is Selling station, about 0.6 miles east. Nearby you’ll also find Tower keep castle at Chilham (2.9 miles south-east). The countryside around Gushmere includes Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
