Commercial sealant contractors in G76

Commercial sealant contractors in G76: how it works

Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. 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, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. The enquiries we see most involve a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, on movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and floor and threshold joints.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

1. We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
2. A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
3. We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
4. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
5. Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after the joints

Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:

• Respect the cure time before reopening an area
• Deal with small splits before they become leaks
• Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
• Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic

Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.

Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.

How the quote is worked out

Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:

• How accessible the joints are
• The product specified
• Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
• The total length or number of joints

The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Sending details for a quote

Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:

• Asbestos survey details if the building is older
• Whether the building will be occupied during the work
• Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
• The site address and postcode
