Commercial sealant contractors in DD9: how it works

If you look after more than one building, a single sealant contractor saves a lot of chasing. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us, handled with the same process each time: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and a 12-month guarantee once it’s signed off. For sites in DD9, the quickest start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a list of addresses. We work on floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

  1. First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
  2. We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
  3. We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
  4. The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
  5. The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
  6. Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Commercial clients in DD9

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. DD9 can form part of a wider programme.

Common problems we fix in DD9

The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Painters’ acrylic in a moving joint, vinegar-smelling silicone on metal or natural stone, or a high-modulus product where a low-modulus one was needed. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
  • Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
  • External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
  • Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings

How the quote is worked out

What shapes the price:

  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • How much there is to seal
  • Phasing around occupants

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Before you send an enquiry

A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Any specification or named product

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.

When to bring in a specialist

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Maintenance after handover

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:

  • Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
  • Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
  • Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints

Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces.

An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to.

Questions we are asked in DD9

How many days will you need on site?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?

Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us, and tell us what site paperwork you need.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.

What about asbestos in old mastic?

In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

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

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship, starting at sign-off. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
