Commercial sealant contractors across CR4: what to expect
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. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting.
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.
- 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.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Where commercial joints are in CR4
Commercial buildings across CR4 range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in CR4 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.
Eastfields: Shopping centres and retail parks such as Priory Retail Park (1.2 miles north-west of Eastfields) see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter. With Eastfields inside the ULEZ and kerb space scarce, we sort access and loading before the first day on site.
Building owners, agents and FMs in CR4
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Why act early?
Putting off a reseal normally moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, and the bill then involves other trades. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
Cost factors for sealant joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
CR4: questions and answers
Is CR4 in your area?
Yes. CR4 is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Tell us what has to stay open and we’ll plan the job around it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
