About commercial sealant contractors in RG5
On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike. We work on washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops.
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Shops, offices and hotels in RG5
In RG5, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Woodley. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and we cover RG5 along with the rest of the region.
Woodley: If you have premises on more than one site, say at Loddon Vale Shopping Centre and Suttons Business Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Premises within reach of Winnersh Triangle station, 1.2 miles to the south of Woodley, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
Commercial clients in RG5
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Surface by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work usually has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we will plan around them, working in sections where that helps.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, in a shade that suits the frame.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. If that happens, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will price putting it right.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, so sound, smooth joints matter.
FAQs: RG5
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
