Commercial sealant contractors in CR6

Commercial sealant contractors across CR6: what to expect

Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. We work on washrooms and tea points, window and door perimeters and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
2. Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
3. Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
4. Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
5. Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
6. Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with 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.

What you get with us

• Our applicators hold CSCS cards
• Constructionline member for supplier checks
• A range of standard colours, depending on the product
• Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Getting a fixed quote

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Maintenance after handover

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

• Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
• Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
• Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
• Check sealant as part of routine building inspections

Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. If anything looks wrong, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a photo.

An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
