About commercial sealant contractors in BH24
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. We work on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away.
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What you get with us
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Fully insured
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Clear, fixed quotes

Commercial premises across BH24
From Ringwood, St Leonards and Poulner outwards, BH24 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
We work across Greater London and the South East counties, so jobs in BH24 are planned with access, loading and parking in mind.
Ringwood: A business with units at Carvers Industrial Estate and Castleman Business Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Refits at hotels like The Crown Hotel, under half a mile to the west of Ringwood, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
Why it fails
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, so sound, smooth joints matter.
Site staff or a sealant 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, which brings decorators and flooring contractors into the repair. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
FAQs: BH24
How is commercial sealant work priced?
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 your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, we can. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
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.
Do you work in BH24?
Yes. BH24 is in our area and the rest of Hampshire. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
