Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
Commercial sealant contractors in Totford, done properly
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. We work on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Totford tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
The most common commercial job in Totford is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Business units in the countryside around places like Totford are often converted barns, stables or farmyards. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Totford
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Totford can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, 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.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Sealant installed at the same time typically fails in sequence. The first failures are often a warning about the rest so the whole run is worth inspecting. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Totford: questions and answers
Is Totford too far out for you?
No. Places such as Totford are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Totford?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
What do you need from us to quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Leave it or put it right?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. Converted and older buildings near places like Totford tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Colour options checked against the specified product
