How commercial sealant contractors works in CT7
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes, run the same way on every site: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. For sites in CT7, the quickest start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a list of addresses. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job.
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What you get with us
- One number for every site we cover
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Commercial sealant contractors across CT7: the area picture
The commercial stock in CT7 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Margate, Westgate-on-Sea and Birchington and beyond. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and we cover CT7 along with the rest of the region. In the parts of CT7 near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first.
Birchington: If you have premises on more than one site, say at Manston Business Park and Maple Leaf Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. For tenants and agents on sites such as Manston Business Park, which lies south of Birchington, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
Keep an eye out for other trades after we have gone. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. Where work has disturbed a joint, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form for a quote.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
Commercial clients in CT7
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in CT7 can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Quoting for work in CT7
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Common questions from CT7 clients
How do we get a quote?
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.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
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.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
