Sealant specialists in Lidsing
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, 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). Most enquiries involve untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, across floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lidsing first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Occupied buildings in Lidsing need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Business units in the countryside around places like Lidsing are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Common questions from Lidsing clients
Does your area include sites such as Lordswood Industrial Estate, near Lidsing?
Yes. We cover Lidsing and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lordswood Industrial Estate. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Lidsing outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients as well as contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we’ll fit in.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which site documents can you send us?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and we will confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

When to call us in Lidsing
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. Typically the movement was too much for the sealant chosen because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. Replacing it like for like rarely holds, which is why we look at the joint design as well.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
Offices and shops close to stations such as Rainham (Kent) station (to the north-east of Lidsing) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Comparing quotes
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
Commercial clients in Lidsing
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
