Our commercial sealant contractors service in CM2
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. We are commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings.
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Commercial sealant contractors across CM2: the area picture
Across CM2, from Chelmsford, Moulsham and Springfield to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but external sealing in CM2 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.
Moulsham: Premises within reach of Chelmsford station (to the north of Moulsham) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. For a hotel such as The Saracen's Head Hotel (0.5 miles north-east of Moulsham), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, frequently colour-matched to the fit-out. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Cost factors for sealant joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, especially on exposed elevations and in washrooms. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a photo.
Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. The first failures are often a warning about the rest so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
FAQs: CM2
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How do we get a quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
