When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

Commercial mastic work in Swanley Village
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. If you are dealing with expansion joints with the sealant torn out and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, we can put it right, on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors alike. Most enquiries from Swanley Village start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Occupied buildings in Swanley Village need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Business units in the countryside around places like Swanley Village are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Button Street Business Park, by Swanley Village?
Yes. We cover Swanley Village and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Button Street Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Must a hotel around Swanley Village close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.

What else we do in Swanley Village
What Swanley Village’s businesses ask us to seal
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. The 2 miles around Swanley Village include four care or nursing homes. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean.
Shopping centres and retail parks such as Dartford Heath Retail Park, 2.3 miles north of Swanley Village, see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Button Street Business Park and Park Road Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Offices at parks like Button Street Business Park (to the south-east of Swanley Village) have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters.
Swanley Village is about 3 miles south-west of Dartford, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Swanley Village for work on sealant joints. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around London have their own page, about 14 miles away.
Work on sealant joints is covered throughout BR8, whatever the building. For a building on Church Road, Hotham Close and School Lane or nearby, we can quote for sealant joints. Nearby places we also cover include Hextable (1 mile north-west), Puddledock (1 mile north-west), Stonehill Green (1 mile north-west), Wilmington (2 miles north) and Joyden's Wood (2 miles north-west) for sealant joints.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- 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
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Rural sites near Swanley Village may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What the job involves on each surface
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Close-up photographs or a site visit tell us what’s needed.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control, and we install to the specification.
