About our commercial sealant contractors in Norwood New Town
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. The enquiries we see most involve layers of sealant, all of them failing and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, across movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Norwood New Town, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In an occupied building in Norwood New Town, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Buildings in a London area such as Norwood New Town rarely close for maintenance: occupied offices, ground-floor retail under residential floors and busy shared entrances. Work is split into zones agreed with the building or facilities manager, so the premises keep working around us.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
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.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
Common questions from Norwood New Town clients
Does a hotel in Norwood New Town need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will you take on work at estates like Hamilton Road Industrial Estate, close to Norwood New Town?
Yes. Our area takes in Norwood New Town and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hamilton Road Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and we’ll confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. From you, we will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we are sealing for as long as the cure needs.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords as well as contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
