Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else.
Sealant applicators in Pig Street
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and what we’re called in for most is shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Pig Street is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Pig Street, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Pig Street tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Pig Street are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Pig Street
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Pig Street. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Sea-facing elevations are typically where failed joints show first. Less than 3 miles from Pig Street there are at least three named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
For a hotel such as Lifehouse Spa & Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north-east of Pig Street, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Units at places like Brook Retail Park (2.2 miles south of Pig Street) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Pig Street
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
Offices and shops close to stations such as Thorpe-Le-Soken station (under half a mile north-east of Pig Street) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What site paperwork they can supply
Why act early in Pig Street
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. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. Converted and older buildings near places like Pig Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early. Should something look amiss, you can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and send a picture.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.

Questions about Pig Street
Will you take on work at estates like Rice Bridge Industrial Estate, close to Pig Street?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Pig Street, Rice Bridge Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Pig Street too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Pig Street are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes. We take on runs of jobs across portfolios as well as single sites, quoted per building or as a package.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
