Commercial sealant contractors across NW5: what to expect
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. Most enquiries involve untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings, across floor and threshold joints, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints.
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- 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.
- 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.

Where commercial joints are in NW5
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Kentish Town, Chalk Farm and Tufnell Park all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and we cover NW5 along with the rest of the region.
Kentish Town: In a retail centre such as O2 Centre, 1.6 miles west of Kentish Town, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. Shops and cafés around stations like Kentish Town West station, less than half a mile north of Kentish Town, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Quoting for work in NW5
What shapes the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Why act early?
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, and we will say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired.

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
Common questions from NW5 clients
Can areas stay open during the work?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Which site documents can you send us?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry. From you, we will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
