Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Your questions answered

Do you cover business parks and estates near Shorne Ridgeway, such as Nuralite Industrial Estate?

Yes, sites like Nuralite Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Shorne Ridgeway. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is Shorne Ridgeway off your patch?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

How long will the new sealant last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?

Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price. From you, we will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.

What about asbestos in old mastic?

On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.

Commercial mastic work in Shorne Ridgeway

Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, picking the product for each location rather than one tube for everything. If you have untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Shorne Ridgeway? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

The most common commercial job in Shorne Ridgeway is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.

A job in a smaller place like Shorne Ridgeway is usually a single building. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

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 the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Shorne Ridgeway may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
  2. Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
  3. We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
  4. Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
  5. We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
  6. We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Quotes

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

What sets the cost

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Before you send an enquiry

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height

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 email drawings and photos.

Commercial sealant contractors around Shorne Ridgeway: how the place shapes the job

At about 24 miles from central London, Shorne Ridgeway is within reach of the capital.

Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. Shorne Ridgeway sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.

Premises within reach of Higham station, 2 miles north-east of Shorne Ridgeway, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Occupiers with premises at both Nuralite Industrial Estate and Lion Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shorne Ridgeway

Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, which is where the lasting value is. Halls, stores and units around places like Shorne Ridgeway may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Why appoint us

  • Colour options checked against the specified product
  • Fully insured, including public liability cover
  • Our applicators hold CSCS cards
  • CHAS accredited contractor

When to call us in Shorne Ridgeway

External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. UV hardens the surface while wind and rain work at the edges. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
  • Layers of sealant, all of them failing
  • Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
  • Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open

In a retail centre such as Strood Retail Park, 2.9 miles to the east of Shorne Ridgeway, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.

What your quote should include

  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • How the existing material will be dealt with

Our contractor checklist

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

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.

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Shorne Ridgeway. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
