Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. For a town like Herne Bay, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit, with one quote covering them. Tell us when the building is open and we’ll plan to suit.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

About our commercial sealant contractors in Herne Bay
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. The enquiries we see most involve water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Herne Bay? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
A lot of what we do in Herne Bay is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Smaller commercial landlords and businesses in a town like Herne Bay often have a handful of sealant jobs that can go on one visit: say a shopfront perimeter, a tea point, a washroom and some frames. One fixed quote then covers the lot.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
Why act early in Herne Bay
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement, though we’ll tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. In a town like Herne Bay, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts

Working on commercial sites near Herne Bay
Herne Bay is within about 1 mile of the coast. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Herne Bay sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up.
In hotels such as The Pier Hotel, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Herne Bay, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. Offices at parks like Eddington Business Park, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Herne Bay, have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters.

FAQs: Herne Bay
Is Eddington Business Park, near Herne Bay, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Herne Bay, Eddington Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can being near the sea in Herne Bay affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Common problems we fix in Herne Bay
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
Occupiers with premises at both Eddington Business Park and St. Augustine's Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them and the joint gets left open. If that happens, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will price putting it right.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
