Commercial sealant contractors across KT21: what to expect

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. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points, and what we are called in for most is hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks.

Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.

  1. We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  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. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
  6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Commercial sealant contractors across KT21: the area picture

Across KT21, from Ashtead to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact.

All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, so jobs in KT21 are planned with access, loading and parking in mind.

Ashtead: Shops and cafés around stations like Ashtead station, 0.6 miles to the north of Ashtead, trade from early, so work is timed around them. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Regent Park Business Centre and The Office Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Surface by surface

Shop fronts and retail fit-outs

Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.

Washrooms and toilets

Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.

Should maintenance staff do it?

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

What happens if it’s left?

A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement.

What your quote should include

  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • Their pre-qualification and accreditations
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Work for main contractors and building owners

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. KT21 can form part of a wider programme across Surrey.

When it isn’t the sealant

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:

  • Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
  • A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
  • Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)

Common questions from KT21 clients

Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?

Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.

Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?

On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?

It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.

When can the area be used after sealing?

That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

How long do sealant joints last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
