Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Commercial clients in Rhodes Minnis
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Commercial mastic work in Rhodes Minnis
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed. 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. The enquiries we see most involve untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Rhodes Minnis tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
On a typical commercial building in Rhodes Minnis, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
In and around smaller places such as Rhodes Minnis, the commercial buildings we’re asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
Work we carry out in Kent comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Rhodes Minnis are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Agree which areas must stay open
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Surface by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. We’ll recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement; if the arrises are broken, we will say so before sealing.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price, with colours confirmed for the product chosen.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. Rainfall across the South East, Rhodes Minnis included, is lower than in many parts of the UK.

FAQs: Rhodes Minnis
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Rhodes Minnis?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Rhodes Minnis?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Rhodes Minnis in your area?
Yes. Rhodes Minnis is in our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
