Commercial sealant contractors near Silvertown

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

When it isn’t the sealant

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
  • Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
  • Broken glass or blown double-glazed units

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Silvertown

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

Commercial sealant contractors in Silvertown

Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Our quote form takes photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas. Where the photographs don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit. If you have mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and damp patches where an external joint has failed, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Silvertown, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Silvertown can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.

In London, most commercial sealant work happens in buildings that stay open: occupied offices, ground-floor retail under residential floors and busy shared entrances. We plan the joints floor by floor or unit by unit with the building manager, so areas stay in use, and where a brand finish matters, the sealant colour is agreed first.

The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What Silvertown’s businesses ask us to seal

There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Silvertown. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let. Silvertown has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms.

If you run a unit on an estate such as Greenshields Industrial Estate (under half a mile west of Silvertown), the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse. For a hotel such as Sunborn Hotel, 0.5 miles north-west of Silvertown, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.

Silvertown is about 1 mile south of Canning Town, in Greater London. Commercial clients in Silvertown use us for work on sealant joints. Silvertown is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London.

Our process

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Planning a London job such as one in Silvertown starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.

  1. We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  3. Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
  4. The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
  5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
  6. We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

Advice

Silvertown: questions and answers

Will our hotel in Silvertown need to close for the work?

Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.

Is Greenshields Industrial Estate, near Silvertown, within your area?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Silvertown, Greenshields Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.

How is commercial sealant work priced?

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are usually enough to start through our quote form. Where we need to see it, we’ll arrange a site visit, then send a fixed quote.

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.

How long do sealant joints last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

How do you choose the sealant?

Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Why act early in Silvertown

On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Why appoint us

  • 12-month guarantee on workmanship
  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
  • Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Silvertown?

In wet areas the enemy is usually mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant, and once established it rarely cleans out. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:

  • Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
  • Movement joints packed with grit and debris
  • Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
  • Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall

Units at places like Brocklebank Retail Park (to the south-west of Silvertown) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

What to look for in a quote

  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Looking after the joints

After handover, a little attention goes a long way:

  • Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
  • Report cracked or peeling sealant early
  • Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
  • Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant

We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.

Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
