Sealant specialists in Riddlesdown
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. We work on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and washrooms and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Riddlesdown, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
If you look after more than one building near Riddlesdown, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Buildings in a London area such as Riddlesdown rarely close for maintenance: occupied offices, ground-floor retail under residential floors and busy shared entrances. Work is split into zones agreed with the building or facilities manager, so the premises keep working around us, and where a brand finish matters, the sealant colour is agreed first.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of customers. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
Questions about Riddlesdown
Does a hotel in Riddlesdown need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work at a site such as Capital Business Centre, by Riddlesdown?
Yes, sites like Capital Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Riddlesdown. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves and isn’t worth paying for.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, 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. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is your work guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. In Riddlesdown, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Why deal with it now?
Reactive resealing, a leak at a time, tends to cost more overall than a plan. Planning the work across a year or a portfolio means fewer separate visits and a predictable spend. We will suggest an order, worst sealant joints first. In Riddlesdown, 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 specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
