How commercial sealant contractors works in RG6
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. A leak near a frame edge can start in the frame, the cill or the cavity. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so nobody pays for a reseal that can’t hold. We work on external facade joints, window and door perimeters and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints packed with grit and debris and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy.
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- 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.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Shops, offices and hotels in RG6
The commercial stock in RG6 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Woodley, Earley and Lower Earley and beyond. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and we cover RG6 along with the rest of the region.
Reading: Occupiers with premises at both Reading Link Retail Park and Nimrod Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Shops and cafés around stations like Reading West station (0.7 miles north-west of Reading) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Cost factors for sealant joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
Why act early?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services, so we will flag it if the detail needs a different product.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
Questions about RG6
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we will book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, priced site by site or as one programme.
Do you cover RG6?
Yes. We take on work across RG6, with one number for every area we cover.
