How commercial sealant contractors works in PO15

A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed 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 floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby.

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in.

  1. We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
  2. Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
  3. Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
  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.

Near you in Whiteley

Around Whiteley, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Brookfield Community School and Language College, St Margaret Mary and Whiteley Primary School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Swanwick station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find St Andrew's Castle (3.5 miles south-west) and Fareham Community Hospital (1.4 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Swanwick Lakes.

Shops, offices and hotels in PO15

Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Fareham, Locks Heath and Whiteley all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.

Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and we cover PO15 along with the rest of the region. PO15 includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Whiteley: Occupiers with premises at both Solent Business Park and Park Gate Business Centre could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. In hotels such as Solent Hotel and Spa, under half a mile to the south-east of Whiteley, refurbishments usually mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

What happens if it’s left?

On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • The named product and why it was chosen
  • Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

How the job changes by surface

Shop fronts and retail fit-outs

Retail work typically has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us.

Washrooms and toilets

Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t normally be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.

When to bring in a specialist

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Quoting for work in PO15

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

  • How much there is to seal
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • How accessible the joints are
  • Travel to remote or island sites

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Sending details for a quote

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Our quote form is another easy route.

After the work

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:

  • Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
  • Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
  • Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
  • Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when

Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.

Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. A few splits this year normally mean more next year, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.

Common questions from PO15 clients

How do we get a quote?

Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed.

Is PO15 in your area?

Yes. We cover PO15, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

How long does a job like this take?

That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically 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.

Can weather delay the job?

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

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.

Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?

On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.

Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?

We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
