Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What Kennington’s businesses ask us to seal
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Kennington. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints, often in a colour the occupier specifies. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Kennington. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Handel Business Centre and Kennington Park Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact. Premises within reach of Vauxhall station (less than half a mile north-west of Kennington) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. For a shop at a centre such as Southernwood Retail Park, 2 miles east of Kennington, tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kennington
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what’s specified.
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, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. 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.
Questions we are asked in Kennington
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
Can you work at a site such as Handel Business Centre, by Kennington?
Yes. Our area takes in Kennington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Handel Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- 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.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Request a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
