Commercial sealant contractors across CT3: 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. 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 floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line.

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.

  1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations.
  2. Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
  3. We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
  4. We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
  5. We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
  6. Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Near you in Aylesham

In Aylesham, that means premises near St Peter and Aylesham Primary School. Aylesham has its own railway station: Aylesham station. Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles north-west).

Commercial premises across CT3

The commercial stock in CT3 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Canterbury, Aylesham and Ash and beyond. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.

All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, and every job in CT3 starts with access, parking and site rules. Coastal places in CT3 often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, so work is often best planned for quieter months.

Aylesham: Industrial estates such as Aylesham Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Aylesham) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. Occupiers with premises at both Aylesham Industrial Estate and CT3 Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

Building owners, agents and FMs in CT3

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Doing it in-house

There’s also the paperwork. 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.

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.

Honest limits

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
  • Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
  • Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)

Maintenance after handover

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:

  • Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
  • Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
  • Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
  • Deal with small splits before they become leaks

Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and send a picture.

Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.

Leave it or put it right?

Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s typically close behind, so access and set-up end up being paid for twice. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side.

What your quote should include

  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

FAQs: CT3

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

What about asbestos in old mastic?

On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.

How long do sealant joints last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

When can the area be used after sealing?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.

Who decides which product is used?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

What do you need from us to quote?

The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.

How long does a typical visit take?

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
