Our commercial sealant contractors service in CO5
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy.
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- 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.
What you’ll pay
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Where commercial joints are in CO5
From Tiptree, West Mersea and Wivenhoe Quay outwards, CO5 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in CO5 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up. Coastal places in CO5 often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.
Tiptree: For premises near Kelvedon station, 2.8 miles north-west of Tiptree, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Offices at parks like Threshelfords Business Park (2.3 miles north-west of Tiptree) have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Gaps and ragged beads trap dirt that cleaning can’t reach. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work typically has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- 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
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Commercial clients in CO5
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around CO5. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Why act early?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing typically costs far less than renewal, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem.

Your questions answered
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
