Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
About our commercial sealant contractors in Ivy Chimneys
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, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). If you have damp patches where an external joint has failed and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ivy Chimneys tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Occupied buildings in Ivy Chimneys need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Ivy Chimneys tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
Work we carry out in Essex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Your questions answered
Is Ivy Chimneys off your patch?
No. Places such as Ivy Chimneys are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must a hotel around Ivy Chimneys close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes. We take on runs of jobs across portfolios as well as single sites, priced site by site or as one programme.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away, so it isn’t something we do.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Ivy Chimneys need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

What else we do in Ivy Chimneys
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work normally has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
Why act early in Ivy Chimneys
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ivy Chimneys, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Public liability insurance in place
