Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. Older rural buildings around Sholden move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Commercial sealant contractors in Sholden
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Site teams most often ask us about window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, across washrooms and tea points, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Sholden? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In an occupied building in Sholden, the job is planned so areas stay in use: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Business units in the countryside around places like Sholden are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Sholden, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, which is how mould gets back in. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Sholden
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Sealant on show in Sholden’s commercial buildings
Sholden is within about 2 miles of the coast. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. The area within 2 miles of Sholden holds plenty of hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Deal station (to the east of Sholden) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. In hotels such as The Rose Hotel, 1.3 miles to the east of Sholden, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Questions we’re asked in Sholden
Does a hotel in Sholden need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is a smaller place like Sholden outside your area?
No. Places such as Sholden are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
