How the job changes by surface
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; we install what’s specified.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. We plan around the access windows the store gives us.
About our commercial sealant contractors in Thanington
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phasing keeps some washrooms, kitchens or entrances available while others are done. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. Site teams most often ask us about water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Thanington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A lot of what we do in Thanington is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
Places like Thanington tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. Each job is modest, yet a joint in a small café needs the same cutting out, cleaning and sealing as one in a city office.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. Where work has disturbed a joint, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over for a quote.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. 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. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Thanington need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- 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.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and threshold joints

Commercial premises in Thanington
Thanington has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound; colours can be chosen to suit the interior. Thanington is about 52 miles from central London. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact.
In a retail centre such as Whitefriars Shopping Centre, which lies north-east of Thanington, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. Sites a few miles apart, such as Wincheap Industrial Estate and Stour Valley Business Park, can share one programme and one point of contact. A unit on an estate like Wincheap Industrial Estate (0.7 miles north-east of Thanington) typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.

FAQs: Thanington
Is Thanington too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a hotel in Thanington need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
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.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
