Our commercial sealant contractors service in RG22
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. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. Site teams most often ask us about untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and layers of sealant, all of them failing, across movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Pricing in RG22
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Shops, offices and hotels in RG22
In RG22, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Basingstoke, Kempshott and Buckskin. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in RG22 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.
Kempshott: Units at retail parks like Brighton Hill Retail Park, 1.4 miles east of Kempshott, change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage. A business with units at Brighton Hill Retail Park and St Michael's Retail Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Leave it or put it right?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, which is where the lasting value is.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How joint depth will be controlled
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What affects the price in RG22
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Common problems we fix in RG22
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, so periodic inspection matters more than any date on a schedule.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open

RG22: questions and answers
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.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We take on runs of jobs across portfolios as well as single sites.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
Do you work in RG22?
Yes. We take on work across RG22.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
