Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Old Wives Lees

If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. That normally 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. Replacing it like for like rarely holds.

Things that normally lead to an enquiry:

  • Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
  • Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
  • Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
  • Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings

Occupiers with premises at both CMA Industrial Park and Stour Valley Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

What to look for in a quote

  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • How they handle RAMS and site documents
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Our contractor checklist

How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Old Wives Lees

On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, picking the product for each location rather than one tube for everything. If you have mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Old Wives Lees is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Old Wives Lees can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.

A job in a smaller place like Old Wives Lees is typically a single building. We’ll want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.

Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Why deal with it now?

Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. Around Old Wives Lees, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.

The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Why clients in Old Wives Lees choose us

  • Constructionline member
  • RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
  • Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
  • Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

When something else is needed

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
  • Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
  • Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it

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.

What we seal

  • Movement joints in walls and floors
  • Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
  • Washrooms and tea points
  • External facade joints
  • Floor and threshold joints
  • Window and door perimeters

Work for main contractors and building owners

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

After the work

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
  • Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
  • Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
  • Check joints after other trades have worked nearby

Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.

Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.

Questions about Old Wives Lees

Is a smaller place like Old Wives Lees outside your area?

Not at all. Old Wives Lees is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Does your area include sites such as CMA Industrial Park, near Old Wives Lees?

Yes, sites like CMA Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Old Wives Lees. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?

On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?

It’s normal for us to work in occupied buildings. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance for as long as the cure needs.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.

From enquiry to sign-off

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next.

  1. Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
  2. We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
