What we’re called out for in Old Hawkinge
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. That usually means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way, which is why we look at the joint design as well.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
Sites a few miles apart, such as West Park Farm North Retail Park and Highfield Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
About our commercial sealant contractors in Old Hawkinge
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Old Hawkinge is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
We price commercial jobs in Old Hawkinge from photos, drawings or a site visit, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Work in smaller places such as Old Hawkinge tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We will want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. 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.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Old Hawkinge are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

Advice
Questions we are asked in Old Hawkinge
Will you take on work at estates like West Park Farm North Retail Park, close to Old Hawkinge?
Yes. Our area takes in Old Hawkinge and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as West Park Farm North Retail Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Old Hawkinge too far out for you?
No. Places such as Old Hawkinge are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves and isn’t worth paying for.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us, and we’ll confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do we get a quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
