Commercial sealant contractors in Little Wakering, done properly

Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. If you’re dealing with shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and damp patches where an external joint has failed, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Little Wakering it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

In Little Wakering, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.

Business units in the countryside around places like Little Wakering are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.

Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Your questions answered

Is Little Wakering too small for you to travel to?

Not at all. Little Wakering is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can you work at a site such as Star Lane Industrial Estate, by Little Wakering?

Yes. Our area takes in Little Wakering and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Star Lane Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.

How do we get a quote?

Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.

How many days will you need on site?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

What Little Wakering’s businesses ask us to seal

With the shore within about 2 miles, Little Wakering counts as a coastal location. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. At about 38 miles from central London, Little Wakering is within reach of the capital. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings.

A unit on an estate like Star Lane Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles south of Little Wakering, normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.

When to call us in Little Wakering

Washrooms and kitchens wear sealant out in their own way. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead; 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.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
  • Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
  • Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
  • Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal

Premises within reach of Thorpe Bay station (to the south-west of Little Wakering) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Our contractor checklist

Maintenance after handover

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

  • Respect the cure time before reopening an area
  • Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
  • Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
  • Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working

Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.

Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.

What we can’t put right

Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
  • Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
  • Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem

If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Movement joints in walls and floors
  • Washrooms and tea points
  • External facade joints
  • Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
  • Floor and threshold joints
  • Window and door perimeters

Our process

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Little Wakering, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
  2. A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
  3. Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
  4. The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
  5. Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
  6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
