Sealant applicators in Snowdown
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints packed with grit and debris and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations, across window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Snowdown tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
On a typical commercial building in Snowdown, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Snowdown are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Washrooms and tea points

- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints

When to call us in Snowdown
In wet areas the enemy is typically mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Aylesham Industrial Estate and CT3 Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their public liability cover
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Common questions from Snowdown clients
Does your area include sites such as Aylesham Industrial Estate, near Snowdown?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Snowdown, Aylesham Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Snowdown outside your area?
No. Places such as Snowdown are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. We take on runs of jobs across portfolios as well as single sites, quoted per building or as a package.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Sealant on show in Snowdown’s commercial buildings
Snowdown is about 60 miles 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. Snowdown is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
On estates like Aylesham Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Snowdown, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. Shops and cafés around stations like Snowdown station, less than half a mile to the south-east of Snowdown, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Snowdown is about 7 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We send applicators to Snowdown for sealant joints. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Snowdown among them. Our London page has more on work in that area (60 miles or so).

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.

When to bring in a 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 we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Older rural buildings around Snowdown move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
