Our commercial sealant contractors service in SG13
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photographs, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form; you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the details. Where the photographs don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit, and a fixed quote for the agreed scope follows. Most enquiries involve frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, across floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Where commercial joints are in SG13
Across SG13, from Hertford, Bengeo and Foxholes to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in SG13 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.
Foxholes: If you run a unit on an estate such as Taylor Trading Estate, which lies north of Foxholes, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse. For premises near Hertford East station, which lies north-west of Foxholes, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Different surfaces, different methods
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal, room by room if that suits the building.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, working in sections where that helps.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. SG13 can form part of a wider programme across Hertfordshire.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
A quote for sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What we are called out for in SG13
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
Questions we are asked in SG13
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We confirm documents at quote stage: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Do you cover SG13?
Yes. We take on work across SG13, with one number for every area we cover.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes, and through main contractors too. You send the details, we return a fixed quote, and the job is done and signed off, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can areas stay open during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
