Sealant specialists in Lathones
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. We are commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. If you’re dealing with weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, we can help, whatever the surface.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, in a shade that suits the frame.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Lathones?
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain; in time the surface chalks, hardens and cracks. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
For premises around Lathones where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How the existing material will be dealt with

Advice
Lathones: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Lathones?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Lathones?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is your work guaranteed?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Why act early in Lathones
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. You notice the difference years later, not on the day. For buildings near Lathones, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What else we do in Lathones
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. 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.
Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
