Leave it or put it right?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. In Pollards Hill, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Colours confirmed for the specified product

Sealant applicators in Pollards Hill
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. If you are dealing with movement joints packed with grit and debris and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Pollards Hill, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
On a typical commercial building in Pollards Hill, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
In London, most commercial sealant work happens in buildings that stay open: occupied offices, ground-floor retail under residential floors and busy shared entrances. We plan the joints floor by floor or unit by unit with the building manager, so areas stay in use.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common questions from Pollards Hill clients
Does a hotel in Pollards Hill need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Will you take on work at estates like Thornton Road Industrial Estate, close to Pollards Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in Pollards Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Thornton Road Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you cover Pollards Hill?
Yes. We cover Pollards Hill, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any specification or named product
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
