Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
Commercial sealant contractors in Richmond
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. If you are dealing with frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Richmond, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Occupied buildings in Richmond need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
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, and where a brand finish matters, the sealant colour is agreed first.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Common questions from Richmond clients
Do hotels near Richmond have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you work at a site such as Ivybridge Retail Park, by Richmond?
Yes, sites like Ivybridge Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Richmond. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the 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. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints

- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
What affects the price in Richmond
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Commercial premises in Richmond
London premises typically come with a building manager, booked loading and house rules for contractors. We plan around them and agree phasing so tenants and clients aren’t disrupted. Less than 3 miles from Richmond there are at least three named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
A hotel such as Bingham House Hotel, less than half a mile south-west of Richmond, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. Units at retail parks like Ivybridge Retail Park, 1.3 miles west of Richmond, change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage. Access in Richmond needs thought: the ULEZ covers all of Greater London, and loading and parking are rarely simple.
Richmond is about 5 miles south-west of Kensington, in Greater London. We cover commercial sites throughout Richmond, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places, large and small. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 9 miles from Richmond.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Why act early in Richmond
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s usually close behind. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. 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 quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Planning a London job such as one in Richmond starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
