About commercial sealant contractors in PO7

Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. Site teams most often ask us about damp patches where an external joint has failed and black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off, across movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and floor and threshold joints.

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 your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

  1. Site photos, 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. Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
  6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Waterlooville

We work on buildings around Saint George's, The Denmead Queen pub and Hart Plain Junior School and the streets around them. The closest station to Waterlooville is Bedhampton station, roughly 2.6 miles south-east. A little further out are Queen Alexandra Hospital (2.7 miles south-west) and Havant Museum (3.3 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.

Shops, offices and hotels in PO7

Across PO7, from Havant, Horndean and Waterlooville 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.

Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and PO7 is part of the area we cover. Along the coast in PO7, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, so work is often best planned for quieter months.

Waterlooville: Premises within reach of Bedhampton station, 2.6 miles to the south-east of Waterlooville, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. On a business park such as Dunsbury Hill Business Park (1.2 miles east of Waterlooville), sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.

Cost factors for sealant joints

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

  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • The total length or number of joints
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits

Pricing sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Details that help us quote

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • The site address and postcode
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Any dates the work must fit around

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Keeping the joints sound

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
  • Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
  • Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
  • Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting

We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.

Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.

Should maintenance staff do it?

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
  • Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
  • Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take

Leave it or put it right?

Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. You notice the difference years later, not on the day.

Your questions answered

Can weather delay the job?

It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

Who decides which product is used?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

When can the area be used after sealing?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.

What site paperwork can you provide?

Send your site requirements with the enquiry. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.

Is PO7 in your area?

Yes. We take on work across PO7, and the same phone number covers every area.

Do you work directly for building managers?

Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
