What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Pratling Street
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. Site teams most often ask us about untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, across floor and threshold joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points. For commercial sealant work in Pratling Street, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Pratling Street can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Pratling Street are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pratling Street
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. For buildings around smaller places like Pratling Street, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Pratling Street
When a bead peels cleanly off one face, it has failed in adhesion. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Lower Bell Industrial Estate and Mid Kent Shopping Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
Different surfaces, different methods
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. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control, and we install to the specification.
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
Pratling Street: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Pratling Street outside your area?
Not at all. Pratling Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Must a hotel around Pratling Street close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
