Commercial mastic work in Salehurst

We have applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, on external facade joints, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Salehurst, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Salehurst can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.

Rural business units near smaller places such as Salehurst are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

Commercial clients in Salehurst

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.

Your questions answered

Is a smaller place like Salehurst outside your area?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Can you work at a site such as Bodiam Business Park, by Salehurst?

Yes, sites like Bodiam Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Salehurst. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

How do we get a quote?

The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.

Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?

We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder and removing it isn’t something we do.

How do you choose the sealant?

Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

When it isn’t the sealant

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:

  • A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
  • A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
  • Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal

If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Floor and threshold joints
  • External facade joints
  • Washrooms and tea points
  • Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Movement joints in walls and floors

What happens if it’s left?

Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. Converted and older buildings near places like Salehurst tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

What you get with us

  • Fully insured, including public liability cover
  • Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
  • Constructionline member for supplier checks
  • Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. Less than 3 miles from Salehurst 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.

Offices at parks like Bodiam Business Park, 1.6 miles north-east of Salehurst, have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters. For premises near Robertsbridge station, which lies south-west of Salehurst, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

On site: what to expect

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 any cutting starts, and the work usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. Smaller jobs around Salehurst can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
  2. We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
  3. We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
  4. The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
  5. The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
  6. Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Confirm the product named in the specification

Quotes

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

When to call us in Salehurst

If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Movement joints packed with grit and debris
  • Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
  • Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
  • Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead

Sites a few miles apart, such as Bodiam Business Park and Quarry Farm Business Centre, can share one programme and one point of contact.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • Their pre-qualification and accreditations

Our contractor checklist

How the job changes by surface

Washrooms and toilets

Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.

Commercial kitchens and tea points

Gaps and ragged beads trap dirt that cleaning can’t reach. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
