Commercial sealant contractors in E16

Our commercial sealant contractors service in E16

On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Site teams most often ask us about leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, on window and door perimeters, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints.

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.

1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
2. The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
3. Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
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.

Around Canning Town

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Keir Hardie Park, The Tidal Basin Tavern and Rosetta Primary School and the streets around them. Also close by are St Cedd's Church (less than half a mile north), Royal Docks Academy (0.5 miles south-east) and The Royal Docks Community School (0.5 miles south-east). There’s a railway station in Canning Town itself: Custom House station. A little further out are Greenwich Castle (2.8 miles south-west) and West Ham United Football Club Museum (1.4 miles north-east). The countryside around Canning Town includes Gilbert's Pit and Hollow Pond.

After the work

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:

• Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
• Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
• Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
• Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when

Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.

In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
