Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Ickford, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Commercial mastic work in Ickford
On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: 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. Site teams most often ask us about mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and movement joints packed with grit and debris, on 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: on jobs in Ickford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
We price commercial jobs in Ickford from photographs, drawings or a site visit, and the scope is set out in writing.
Work in smaller places such as Ickford tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We will want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What affects the price in Ickford
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around

Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what’s specified.

Sealant on show in Ickford’s commercial buildings
At about 45 miles from central London, Ickford is within reach of the capital. 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. Ickford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Camp Industrial Estate (to the south of Ickford) need neat joints where clients see them.
Ickford is about 4 miles west of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Ickford, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 308 places in Buckinghamshire, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Oxford page (7 miles or so).

Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Ickford. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Ickford?
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. Typically the movement was too much for the sealant chosen: a bead laid too thin, an over-stretched joint or the wrong movement class. Replacing it like for like rarely holds, which is why we look at the joint design as well.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Camp Industrial Estate and Christmas Hill Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Before you book anyone
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Ickford: questions and answers
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Ickford?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is Ickford too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send what you have, even a few photographs and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
