Our commercial sealant contractors service in HP27

How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. 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. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on window and door perimeters, washrooms and tea points and movement joints in walls and floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are expansion joints with the sealant torn out and layers of sealant, all of them failing.

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in.

  1. First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
  2. The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
  3. Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
  4. Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
  5. A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
  6. We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

Commercial premises across HP27

Commercial buildings across HP27 range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.

The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and HP27 is part of the area we cover.

Princes Risborough: Premises within reach of Princes Risborough station, 0.7 miles south-west of Princes Risborough, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. If you run a unit on an estate such as Crownfield Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles south of Princes Risborough, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.

Cost factors for sealant joints

The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:

  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Phasing around occupants
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • The total length or number of joints

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.

Details that help us quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.

What we are called out for in HP27

A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. That typically means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way, which is why we look at the joint design as well.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
  • External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
  • Layers of sealant, all of them failing
  • Damp patches where an external joint has failed

Doing it in-house

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Leave it or put it right?

A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last.

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Keeping the joints sound

Once the work is signed off, these steps help:

  • Deal with small splits before they become leaks
  • On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
  • Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
  • Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced

In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, and mould follows damp. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.

Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.

FAQs: HP27

Is your work guaranteed?

It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.

Can weather delay the job?

It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

How long will the new sealant last?

There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

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 will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.

Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?

Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.

Is HP27 in your area?

Yes. We cover HP27, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
