Commercial sealant contractors in PO13: how it works
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. 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. We work on washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- 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.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Lee-on-the-Solent
We work on buildings around Lee-On-the-Solent Infant and Nursery School, Baycroft School and Crofton School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Fareham station, roughly 3.5 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Fareham Shopping Centre (3.6 miles north) and Gosport War Memorial Hospital (2.1 miles east). The countryside around Lee-on-the-Solent includes West of the River Alver.
Where commercial joints are in PO13
Across PO13, from Gosport, Stubbington and Lee-on-the-Solent 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.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in PO13 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. PO13 includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
Lee-on-the-Solent: Premises within reach of Fareham station, 3.5 miles north of Lee-on-the-Solent, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. If you look after units at a retail site such as Brockhurst Gate Retail Park, which lies north-east of Lee-on-the-Solent, shopfront perimeters and shop-fit joints are where a matched colour shows.
Surface by surface
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work normally has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
Why deal with it now?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What we’re called out for in PO13
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, so periodic inspection matters more than any date on a schedule.
Look out for the following:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What affects the price in PO13
Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
PO13: questions and answers
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Which site documents can you send us?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, quoted per building or as a package.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
