What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Upstreet
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed will all fail early. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason, and many specifications refer to it.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
Shops and cafés around stations like Sturry station (3.8 miles south-west of Upstreet) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Upstreet need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

What else we do in Upstreet
Questions we’re asked in Upstreet
Is Upstreet off your patch?
No. Places such as Upstreet are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Canterbury Industrial Park, by Upstreet?
Yes, sites like Canterbury Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Upstreet. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
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 it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Upstreet
The 3 miles around Upstreet take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing.
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.
Cost factors for sealant joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any dates the work must fit around
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
