Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Little Bromley are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Commercial sealant contractors in Little Bromley, done properly
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Our quote form takes photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas and you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email us to talk it through. Where the photographs don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit, followed by a fixed quote rather than an estimate that drifts. Site teams most often ask us about layers of sealant, all of them failing and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, on window and door perimeters, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Little Bromley, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

Other services in Little Bromley
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
What the job involves on each surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Brickwork, blockwork and floor slabs all have movement joints that need a flexible seal. Failed seals let grit and water in, and the edges start to suffer. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Close-up photographs or a site visit tell us what’s needed.
When to call us in Little Bromley
In wet areas the enemy is usually mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant; when mould is in the body of the sealant, no cleaner will shift it. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Brantham Mill Industrial Estate (to the north of Little Bromley) need neat joints where clients see them.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Little Bromley: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like Little Bromley affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Little Bromley, such as Brantham Mill Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Little Bromley, Brantham Mill Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s normal for us to work in occupied buildings. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we are sealing, until its cure time has passed.
