Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Iffley
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and movement joints in walls and floors, and what we are called in for most is untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Iffley first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
On a typical commercial building in Iffley, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Places like Iffley tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Cost factors for sealant joints
What shapes the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
There’s no price list, 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.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services.
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Iffley has six care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away.

Questions about Iffley
Will our hotel in Iffley need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Does your area include sites such as Templars Shopping Park, near Iffley?
Yes. We cover Iffley and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Templars Shopping Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. One contact and one process for every building makes a portfolio easier to manage.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
