Commercial sealant contractors in Kemsley Street, done properly
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, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). If you are dealing with movement joints packed with grit and debris and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kemsley Street tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In Kemsley Street, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Kemsley Street are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. Older rural buildings around Kemsley Street move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

When to call us in Kemsley Street
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
Units at retail parks like Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre, 0.9 miles north-west of Kemsley Street, change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Kemsley Street need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Questions about Kemsley Street
Is Kemsley Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Kemsley Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the sealant on our Kemsley Street premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Send what you have, even a few photographs and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kemsley Street can form part of a wider programme.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
