Commercial sealant contractors across KT7: 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, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We work on washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops.
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Thames Ditton
Around Thames Ditton, our work takes us to commercial buildings near George and Dragon pub, Thames Ditton Junior School and Shrewsbury House School, among other places. You will also find Church of St. Nicholas (under half a mile north), Esher College (0.5 miles west) and Giggs Hill Green (less than half a mile south).

The countryside around Thames Ditton includes The Wood and The Lake.
Shops, offices and hotels in KT7
The commercial stock in KT7 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Esher, Molesey and Seething Wells and beyond. 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 KT7 is part of the area we cover.
Thames Ditton: Sites a few miles apart, such as Fairfield Trade Park and North Weylands Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. For a hotel such as Mitre Hotel (1.2 miles north of Thames Ditton), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted.
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What we are called out for in KT7
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
Common questions from KT7 clients
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, we can. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and we will put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do we get a quote?
Send what you have, even a few photographs and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we are sealing.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
