About commercial sealant contractors in CT2
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. 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 a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and damp patches where an external joint has failed.
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

Landmarks near Sturry
Around Sturry, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Swan Inn, Spires Academy and Chequer's Wood and Old Park and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Sturry Church of England Primary School (under half a mile north-east), St Nicholas' Church (0.5 miles south) and Frank Montgomery School (1.2 miles east). Sturry has its own railway station: Sturry station. A little further out are Canterbury Roman Museum (2.6 miles south-west) and St Martins Hospital (2.1 miles south). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.
Commercial premises across CT2
The commercial stock in CT2 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Canterbury, Wincheap and Sturry and beyond. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and CT2 is part of the area we cover. Parts of CT2 lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.
Sturry: For a retailer at a site such as Buddy's Retail Park (under half a mile north-west of Sturry), the joints customers see are as much part of the fit-out as the shelving. Occupiers with premises at both Buddy's Retail Park and Canterbury Retail Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
How the job changes by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, working in sections where that helps.
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
In wet areas the enemy is typically mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant, and once established it rarely cleans out. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
Questions about CT2
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we’re sealing, until its cure time has passed.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.
