About commercial sealant contractors in GU10

A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface. Site teams most often ask us about weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, on washrooms and tea points, window and door perimeters and external facade joints.

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.

  1. You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
  2. The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
  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. Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Where commercial joints are in GU10

Across GU10, from Fleet, Farnham and Ash to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote.

Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and GU10 is part of the area we cover.

Lower Bourne: If you run a unit on an estate such as Hookstile Trading Estate, which lies north of Lower Bourne, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse. Units at places like Farnham Retail Park (to the north of Lower Bourne) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

When to bring in a specialist

Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

When it isn’t the sealant

Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
  • Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
  • Broken glass or blown double-glazed units

Surface by surface

Window and door perimeters

Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, in a shade that suits the frame.

Washrooms and toilets

Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, room by room if that suits the building.

What we’re called out for in GU10

A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. New silicone has nothing to key into so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
  • Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
  • Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
  • Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away

What happens if it’s left?

Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired.

GU10: questions and answers

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

How long before the joints can be used?

We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

Will the building have to shut during the work?

Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.

Which site documents can you send us?

Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.

Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?

It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.

Do you work directly for building managers?

Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
