Common questions from Thornwood Common clients
Do hotels near Thornwood Common have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is Woodside Industrial Estate, near Thornwood Common, within your area?
Yes, sites like Woodside Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Thornwood Common. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, quoted per building or as a package.
Is Thornwood Common in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Thornwood Common, and the same phone number covers every area.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Cost factors for sealant joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Access and working height
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Thornwood Common lies roughly 18 miles out from central London. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all. Thornwood Common has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
Units at places like Bush Fair Shopping Centre (to the north of Thornwood Common) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Woodside Industrial Estate and Brickfield House Business Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both. On estates like Woodside Industrial Estate, under half a mile south-east of Thornwood Common, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Why deal with it now?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation. For buildings around smaller places like Thornwood Common, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
