When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints

- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
Sealant applicators in Woodcote
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on floor and threshold joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Woodcote, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
A lot of what we do in Woodcote is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, so one job can involve stone, brick, powder-coated frames and laminate in a single visit. The right product goes on each, in a colour chosen to suit where the joint is seen.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Woodcote
Nine care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Woodcote. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound. Contractor rules in London buildings can be strict, with inductions, permits and timed loading all normal. We fit into those systems and phase the work so the building keeps operating.
Industrial estates such as Ullswater Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles south of Woodcote, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. Sites a few miles apart, such as Ullswater Industrial Estate and Lysander Road Airport Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. With Woodcote inside the ULEZ and kerb space scarce, we sort access and loading before the first day on site.
Woodcote is about 1 mile west of Purley, in Greater London. We cover Woodcote, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

What’s near Woodcote
We work on buildings around The Foxley Hatch pub, Laleham Lea School and Woodcote Primary School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Reedham (London) station, about 0.7 miles east. Nearby you will also find Croydon Airport Visitor Centre (1.7 miles north-east) and St George's Walk (3.2 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Foxley Wood and Duppas Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
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, which is where the lasting value is. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Advice
Woodcote: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Will our hotel in Woodcote need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.

What else we do in Woodcote
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. We’ll recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
