Commercial sealant contractors in SG10

Our commercial sealant contractors service in SG10

Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). We work on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors, and what we’re called in for most is a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away.

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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in.

1. First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
2. We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
3. Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
4. Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
5. A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
6. A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Aftercare for building managers

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

• Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
• Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
• Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
• Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round

New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.

Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
