Our commercial sealant contractors service in CO6
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings.
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- 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.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Shops, offices and hotels in CO6
From Braintree, Mile End and Coggeshall outwards, CO6 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.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and CO6 is part of the area we cover.
Coggeshall: For premises near Kelvedon station, which lies south of Coggeshall, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. On a business park such as Earls Colne Business Park, which lies north of Coggeshall, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around CO6. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t normally be cleaned out. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, in a shade that suits the frame.
FAQs: CO6
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee from handover. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. 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.
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.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
