Need commercial sealant contractors in Ollaberry?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, and the bill then involves other trades. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Sealant applicators in Ollaberry
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface. If you are dealing with water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, we can help, on movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ollaberry it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In an occupied building in Ollaberry, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Travel to smaller places such as Ollaberry is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Owners, agents and contractors
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.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
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 will fill any gaps with a visit.
Your questions answered
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Ollaberry?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can being near the sea in Ollaberry affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s normal for us to work in occupied buildings. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance.
Do you work in Ollaberry?
Yes. We cover Ollaberry. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What site paperwork can you provide?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
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 the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Ollaberry. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control, and we install to the specification.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
