How commercial sealant contractors works in PO17
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Most enquiries involve untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints.
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- 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.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Around Wickham
Around Wickham, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Church of St Nicholas, Wickham Church of England Primary School and The Old House Hotel. Wickham’s nearest station is Fareham station, roughly 3.2 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Fareham Shopping Centre (3.2 miles south) and Carron Row Farm Museum (3.5 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s St Clair's Meadow and Portsdown Hill.
Commercial sealant contractors across PO17: the area picture
In PO17, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Portchester, Wickham and Wallington. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and PO17 is part of the area we cover. PO17 includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
Wickham: If you have premises on more than one site, say at Knowle Village Business Park and Grange Farm Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Parks like Knowle Village Business Park, 1.5 miles south-west of Wickham, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in PO17 can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
How the job changes by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Gaps and ragged beads trap dirt that cleaning can’t reach, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
No sealant joint is permanent. How long one lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure to sun and weather, the cleaning regime, the traffic and the product itself. In commercial buildings those factors tend to act together.
Look out for the following:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
Questions we are asked in PO17
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.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
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.
Do you work in PO17?
Yes. We cover PO17, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What do you need from us to quote?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are usually enough to start through our quote form. If a visit is needed we will book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Is your work guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from handover. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
That comes down to planning: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we will work around it.
