Commercial sealant contractors across ME17: what to expect
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. We’re commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors looking after property in ME17. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. Most enquiries involve damp patches where an external joint has failed and layers of sealant, all of them failing, across window and door perimeters, movement joints in walls and floors and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Coxheath
In Coxheath, that means premises near Cornwallis Academy, The Horse Shoes Public House and Coxheath Primary School and the streets around them. Nearby too are Quarry Wood (1.4 miles west) and Holy Trinity Church (less than half a mile south). The closest station to Coxheath is East Farleigh station, about 1.5 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include The Mall Maidstone (3 miles north-east) and Oakwood Hospital (2.4 miles north).
Commercial premises across ME17
Across ME17, from Maidstone, Park Wood and Willington 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, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and ME17 is part of the area we cover.
Coxheath: For a shop at a centre such as The Mall Maidstone, 3 miles to the north-east of Coxheath, tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures. A business with units at Tovil Green Business Park and Orchard Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Why act early?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
Why it fails
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain; in time the surface chalks, hardens and cracks. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
Building owners, agents and FMs in ME17

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
ME17: questions and answers
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Is your work guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, across South East England, Greater London and all of Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
Do you work in ME17?
Yes. We cover ME17 and the rest of Kent, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
