Commercial sealant contractors in CO13

About commercial sealant contractors in CO13

Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and movement joints packed with grit and debris.

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.

1. Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
2. A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
3. Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
4. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

How we quote

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

How the quote is worked out

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

• Location, for remote and island sites
• Backing rod, priming and other preparation
• Removal of failed or old sealant
• Working within restricted access windows

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

What to include in your enquiry

We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:

• Asbestos survey details if the building is older
• Anything awkward about access or site hours
• Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
• Where the site is, with the postcode

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Looking after the joints

Once the work is signed off, these steps help:

• Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
• Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
• Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
• Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building

Keep an eye out for other trades after we have gone. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. Where work has disturbed a joint, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form for a quote.

Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
