About commercial sealant contractors in NW2

Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. We are commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors with sites in NW2. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, window and door perimeters and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes.

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

  1. Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
  2. The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
  3. Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
  4. Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
  5. A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
  6. We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

Near you in Cricklewood

In Cricklewood, that means premises near Gladstone Park, The Crown Public House and Anson Primary School, among other places. You’ll also find Brondesbury College (0.9 miles south), St Gabriel's Church (less than half a mile south) and Hampstead School (0.5 miles east). Cricklewood has its own railway station: Cricklewood station. A little further out are St Andrew's Hospital (0.8 miles north-west) and Brent Museum and Archives (0.7 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Parliament Hill and Westbere Copse.

Shops, offices and hotels in NW2

Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as West Hampstead, Neasden and Hendon all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.

The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in NW2 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.

Cricklewood: With Cricklewood inside the ULEZ and kerb space scarce, we sort access and loading before the first day on site. A business with units at The Quadrant Business Centre and Brent Cross Shopping Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

After the work

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

  • Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
  • Deal with small splits before they become leaks
  • Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
  • Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list

Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, especially on exposed elevations and in washrooms. Should something look amiss, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and send a picture.

An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.

Why it fails

Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Damp patches where an external joint has failed
  • Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
  • Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
  • Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes

How the quote is worked out

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Access and working height
  • How much there is to seal
  • The product specified

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Before you send an enquiry

For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • The site address and postcode
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Surface by surface

Window and door perimeters

The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. Failed perimeters are cut out and cleaned, backing goes into deeper gaps, and the joint is resealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another suitable product.

Commercial kitchens and tea points

A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.

FAQs: NW2

Do you work directly for building managers?

Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.

Do you take on multi-site sealant work?

Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, priced site by site or as one programme.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

How long before the joints can be used?

The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

How do we get a quote?

Send what you have, even a few photographs and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed.

Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?

We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
