How commercial sealant contractors works in GU4
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. Site teams most often ask us about untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, across movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will 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.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What affects the price in GU4

Where commercial joints are in GU4
From Guildford, Burpham and Merrow outwards, GU4 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
We work across Greater London and the South East counties, so jobs in GU4 are planned with access, loading and parking in mind.
Burpham: Sites a few miles apart, such as Merrow Business Park and Ladymead Retail Park, can share one programme and one point of contact. For tenants and agents on sites such as Merrow Business Park, 0.7 miles to the east of Burpham, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.
Why it fails
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. Typical reasons include rushed preparation, no primer where one was needed, dust or release agents on the surface, or three-sided adhesion. It’s one of the commonest faults we find on earlier work.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
Building owners, agents and FMs in GU4
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around GU4. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Surface by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Why act early?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. You notice the difference years later, not on the day.
Comparing quotes
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Questions about GU4
What about asbestos in old mastic?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. 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 in GU4?
Yes. GU4 falls within our area, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to get started.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
