Commercial sealant contractors in MK9

How commercial sealant contractors works in MK9

Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes, run the same way on every site: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and a 12-month guarantee once it’s signed off. For sites in MK9, the quickest start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us with a list of addresses. We work on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops.

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it.

1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
2. Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
3. We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
4. We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
5. The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
6. We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Cost factors for sealant joints

To price the job, we consider:

• The size and state of each joint
• Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
• Working within restricted access windows
• Access and working height

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Before you send an enquiry

However big the job, the same details help:

• Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
• Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
• The asbestos register, for older buildings
• The postcode of the building

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Looking after the joints

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

• Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
• Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
• Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
• Deal with small splits before they become leaks

Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.

Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
