Our commercial sealant contractors service in E20
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind. 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. The enquiries we see most involve a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, on floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- 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.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What you will pay
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What you get with us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Around Temple Mills
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to St Eleutherius, Mossbourne Riverside Academy and Chobham Academy, among other places. Also close by are Eton Manor Boys' Club (less than half a mile north), The Cow pub (0.6 miles south-east) and Mabley Green (0.8 miles west). Temple Mills has its own railway station: Stratford International station. A little further out are V&A East (0.6 miles south) and Westfield Stratford City (less than half a mile south-east). Not far away are Tower Hill and Hollow Pond.
Shops, offices and hotels in E20
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Stratford, Maryland and Donnybrook Quarter all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in E20 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.
Temple Mills: For premises near Stratford International station (under half a mile south-east of Temple Mills), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Leyton Mills Retail Park and Hamlet Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What happens if it’s left?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation. You notice the difference years later, not on the day.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Commercial clients in E20
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around E20. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. Failed seals let grit and water in, and the edges start to suffer. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Why it fails
No sealant joint is permanent. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, which is why regular inspection pays.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
Your questions answered
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords as well as contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we’ll fit in.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. One contact and one process for every building makes a portfolio easier to manage.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Let us know what can’t close and we will work around it.
