Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a photo.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to.
Commercial sealant contractors in The Wrythe
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. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. Site teams most often ask us about leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points. Whoever orders the work in The Wrythe, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
If you look after more than one building near The Wrythe, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Much of the planning for a London commercial job is about getting in and out: booked loading, goods-lift times, the permit system and a place to stage materials. Once that’s settled, the sealant joints are resealed in sections so tenants are disturbed as little as possible.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

The Wrythe: questions and answers
Will our hotel in The Wrythe need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
It’s normal for us to work in occupied buildings. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, 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.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
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.
Why act early in The Wrythe
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Cost factors for sealant joints
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How the job changes by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it; if the arrises are broken, we’ll say so before sealing.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
Commercial clients in The Wrythe
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in The Wrythe can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
What The Wrythe’s businesses ask us to seal
A 2-mile radius around The Wrythe takes in a number of hotels. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let. Most London commercial buildings run contractors through a reception, a permit system and booked goods-lift slots. We work within them, one zone at a time.
For a hotel such as Ashling Tara Hotel, 1.2 miles to the west of The Wrythe, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Offices and shops close to stations such as Carshalton station (less than half a mile south of The Wrythe) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Wandle Trading Estate (to the north of The Wrythe) need neat joints where customers see them.
The Wrythe is about 7 miles south of Stockwell, in Greater London. Our applicators travel to The Wrythe for work on sealant joints. We work across 764 places in Greater London. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 9 miles away.
