Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Patching
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Patching. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms. Rainfall across the South East, Patching included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Gosling Croft Business Centre and The Vinery Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. Parks like Gosling Croft Business Centre (to the south-east of Patching) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal. For premises near Goring-By-Sea station, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Patching, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Commercial mastic work in Patching
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure usually announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. We’re commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors looking after property in Patching. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. We work on external facade joints, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and layers of sealant, all of them failing. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Patching from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Occupied buildings in Patching need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Business units in the countryside around places like Patching are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting off a reseal usually moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Halls, stores and units around places like Patching may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Your questions answered
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Patching?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can you work at a site such as Gosling Croft Business Centre, by Patching?
Yes. Our area takes in Patching and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gosling Croft Business Centre included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work in Patching?
Yes. We cover Patching, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs in and around smaller places like Patching are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What else we do in Patching
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. Where work has disturbed a joint, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos for a quote.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
