Why deal with it now?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Failed sealant in a building in Plashet can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- One number for every site we cover
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

Sealant applicators in Plashet
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. We work on window and door perimeters, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations. Whoever orders the work in Plashet, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Plashet can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Much of the planning for a London commercial job is about getting in and out: loading bay slots, goods lifts, permits to work and somewhere to keep materials. With access agreed, we work through the sealant joints a section at a time, keeping disruption to tenants low.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, in a shade that suits the frame.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work normally has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
When to call us in Plashet
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. Normally the movement was too much for the sealant chosen: a bead laid too thin, an over-stretched joint or the wrong movement class. Replacing it like for like rarely holds.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
Units at retail parks like Beckton Triangle Retail Park (1.7 miles south-east of Plashet) change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in Plashet where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
Does a hotel in Plashet need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are usually enough to start through the quote form on this site. Where we need to see it, we’ll arrange a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. In Plashet, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints
Quotes

What affects the price in Plashet
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
Keep an eye out for other trades after we have gone. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed. If that happens, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will price putting it right.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are.
