Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Old Ford, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

About our commercial sealant contractors in Old Ford
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind while a movement joint that keeps tearing may simply be too narrow for the job. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant. Most enquiries involve window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and window and door perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Old Ford from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
A lot of what we do in Old Ford is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
Much of the planning for a London commercial job is about getting in and out: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. Once that’s settled, the sealant joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Old Ford
Will our hotel in Old Ford need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
How do we get a quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, then a fixed quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Is your work guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Which site documents can you send us?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, 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.
What we are called out for in Old Ford
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants, and many specifications refer to it.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
For premises near Hackney Wick station (0.6 miles north of Old Ford), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
How the job changes by surface
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Close-up photographs or a site visit tell us what’s needed, with colours confirmed for the product chosen.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. We’ll recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement.

Working on commercial sites near Old Ford
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Old Ford. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen. A 2-mile radius around Old Ford takes in plenty of hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Old Ford Trading Estate and Stour Road Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Refits at hotels like City View Hotel, under half a mile to the west of Old Ford, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

Cost factors for sealant joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
