What we are called out for in Skeete
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
For premises near Westenhanger station, which lies south-west of Skeete, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Commercial mastic work in Skeete
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it. If you are dealing with shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Skeete, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Occupied buildings in Skeete need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Work in smaller places such as Skeete tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We’ll want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Your questions answered
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Skeete?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Skeete?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is your work guaranteed?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee from handover. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Do you cover Skeete?
Yes. We cover Skeete, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Leave it or put it right?
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. For buildings around smaller places like Skeete, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- One contact handling all your sites
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Skeete, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints

Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, working in sections where that helps.
