Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Rake
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. Site teams most often ask us about water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and movement joints packed with grit and debris, on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Rake tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Occupied buildings in Rake need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Rake 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What else we do in Rake
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Floor and threshold joints
What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. For buildings around smaller places like Rake, 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.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. For work around Rake, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Rake
Is a smaller place like Rake outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Ham Barn Business Park, near Rake, within your area?
Yes, sites like Ham Barn Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Rake. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. We take on runs of jobs across portfolios as well as single sites, quoted per building or as a package.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
Working on commercial sites near Rake
A 2-mile radius around Rake takes in several hotels. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Less than 3 miles from Rake there are at least three named estates and business parks. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
Offices at parks like Ham Barn Business Park, 2.3 miles north-west of Rake, have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters. A business with units at Ham Barn Business Park and Longmoor Enterprise Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

Nearby you’ll also find Chase Community Hospital (4.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Liss Riverside Railway Walk North and Wheeler's Down.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Rake
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
For premises near Liss station, 1.6 miles west of Rake, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Proof of insurance
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
