Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, especially on exposed elevations and in washrooms. Should something look amiss, you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and send a picture.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Sealant applicators in St Margarets
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. 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, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. We work on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in St Margarets, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In an occupied building in St Margarets, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
In and around smaller places such as St Margarets, 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 is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Sealant on show in St Margarets’s commercial buildings
Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from St Margarets. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
A business with units at Mills Trading Estate and Fawkham Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. For premises near Farningham Road station, 1.1 miles south-west of St Margarets, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Industrial estates such as Mills Trading Estate, 0.8 miles to the south-west of St Margarets, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
A quote for sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near St Margarets, such as Mills Trading Estate?
Yes, sites like Mills Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of St Margarets. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is St Margarets off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
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.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around St Margarets, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Commercial clients in St Margarets
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around St Margarets. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s typically close behind, so access and set-up end up being paid for twice. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side. Converted and older buildings near places like St Margarets tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- CHAS accredited
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
