Our commercial sealant contractors service in PH24

How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on floor and threshold joints, movement joints in walls and floors and washrooms and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall.

When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building.

  1. Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  3. We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
  4. The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
  5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
  6. We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods

Movement joints in walls and floors

Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it; if the arrises are broken, we’ll say so before sealing.

Window and door perimeters

Where frames meet the surrounding wall, sealant is the weather line. 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.

When something else is needed

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
  • Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
  • Broken glass or blown double-glazed units

How the quote is worked out

There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Access and working height
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • How much there is to seal
  • The site’s rules and procedures

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Sending details for a quote

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:

  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • What the building is and how it’s used

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

General trades versus a specialist

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Questions about PH24

Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?

Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us.

How long does a typical visit take?

That varies with the scale of the job, 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.

How do we get a quote?

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are typically enough to start. If a visit is needed we will book one, and a fixed quote follows.

How long do sealant joints last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Is your work guaranteed?

It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

How soon can the area be used again?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
