Commercial sealant contractors in Navestock Heath
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. The enquiries we see most involve mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down, across external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Navestock Heath first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In Navestock Heath, 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.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Navestock Heath are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Common questions from Navestock Heath clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in Navestock Heath?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Navestock Heath too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
Cost factors for sealant joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
