Commercial sealant contractors in SE10: how it works

A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked.

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.

  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. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
  5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
  6. We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Around Greenwich

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to St Mary's Church, Island Gardens and Meridian Primary School, among other places. Nearby too are Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (less than half a mile north-west), The Plume of Feathers pub (less than half a mile north), John Roan School (less than half a mile east) and St. Paul's (1.1 miles west). There’s a railway station in Greenwich itself: Maze Hill station. Other landmarks nearby include Greenwich Castle (under half a mile south-west) and Greenwich District Hospital (0.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tower Hill and Creekside Discovery Centre.

Shops, offices and hotels in SE10

Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Greenwich, St Johns and Deptford all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.

All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, and every job in SE10 starts with access, parking and site rules.

Greenwich: Shops and cafés around stations like Maze Hill station (under half a mile north-east of Greenwich) trade from early, so work is timed around them. In hotels such as King William Hotel (less than half a mile north-east of Greenwich), refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Leave it or put it right?

On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation. You notice the difference years later, not on the day.

Quoting for work in SE10

Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:

  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits

We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What to include in your enquiry

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • The postcode of the building
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • Any specification or named product
  • When you need the work done

The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.

When it isn’t the sealant

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
  • Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
  • Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take

Owners, agents and contractors

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

FAQs: SE10

Is your work guaranteed?

The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.

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. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.

Do you work directly for building managers?

Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us.

What site paperwork can you provide?

We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
