Commercial sealant contractors in IG3: how it works
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us, run the same way on every site: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. For sites in IG3, the quickest start is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a list of addresses. Site teams most often ask us about external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, across washrooms and tea points, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints.
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote

Commercial sealant contractors across IG3: the area picture
From Ilford, Loxford and Newbury Park outwards, IG3 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.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and we cover IG3 along with the rest of the region.
Seven Kings: Offices and shops close to stations such as Seven Kings station, less than half a mile to the south of Seven Kings, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Access in Seven Kings needs thought: the ULEZ covers all of Greater London, and loading and parking are rarely simple.
Surface by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We will suggest an order, worst sealant joints first.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Proof of insurance
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
What affects the price in IG3
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:

- The type of building and who uses it
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.

Questions about IG3
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee, starting at sign-off. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
