Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Monkhams
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Monkhams first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In Monkhams, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, which means one visit can cover joints against stone, brickwork, coated aluminium and shop-fit panels. Each surface gets its own preparation and, where it’s seen, a sealant colour that sits with it.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

The 2 miles around Monkhams include 12 care or nursing homes. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound. In London, commercial buildings often have managed loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems. We plan around them and agree phasing so tenants and customers aren’t disrupted.
Occupiers with premises at both Woodford Trading Estate and Walthamstow Business Centre could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

How the job changes by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services, so we’ll flag it if the detail needs a different product.

Common questions from Monkhams clients
Can you work at a site such as Woodford Trading Estate, by Monkhams?
Yes, sites like Woodford Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Monkhams. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Must a hotel around Monkhams close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
How do we get a quote?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are typically enough to start through the quote form on this site. Where we need to see it, we will arrange a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
What site paperwork can you provide?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away and isn’t worth paying for.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What affects the price in Monkhams
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
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.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
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.
