About our commercial sealant contractors in Shottenden
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. The enquiries we see most involve earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Shottenden is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In Shottenden, as anywhere, the first joints to go are normally the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
In and around smaller places such as Shottenden, the commercial buildings we are asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Commercial premises in Shottenden
Shottenden lies roughly 47 miles out from central London. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. Shottenden sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
Premises within reach of Selling station (to the north of Shottenden) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.
Sealant installed at the same time usually fails in sequence. A few splits this year typically mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.

Related advice
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Shottenden?
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
Whatever the building in Shottenden, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Common questions from Shottenden clients
Is a smaller place like Shottenden outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Shottenden?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
