Commercial sealant contractors in EH21

Our commercial sealant contractors service in EH21

On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building. Most enquiries involve water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, on washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters.

Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on 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.

1. First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
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. Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
5. We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
6. Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What sets the cost

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

• Working within restricted access windows
• Any access equipment needed
• Removal of failed or old sealant
• Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What to include in your enquiry

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:

• The product your specification calls for
• Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
• Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
• Any dates the work must fit around

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Maintenance after handover

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:

• Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
• Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
• Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
• Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up

Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and send a picture.

Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
