Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

How commercial sealant contractors works in SL7

Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form. Where the photos don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, window and door perimeters and movement joints in walls and floors, and what we are called in for most is expansion joints with the sealant torn out and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings.

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

  1. Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
  2. A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
  3. Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
  4. The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
  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.

Landmarks near Marlow

We work on buildings around Congregational Church, Butcher's Tap and Sir William Borlase's Grammar School and the streets around them. Marlow has its own railway station: Marlow station. Nearby you’ll also find Eden (4 miles north) and High Wycombe Castle (4.1 miles north). Not far away are Carpenter's Wood.

Where commercial joints are in SL7

In SL7, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Marlow, Booker and Marlow Bottom. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.

The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, though outside work in SL7 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.

Marlow: If you run an office at a site such as Globe Business Park (0.5 miles east of Marlow), the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Globe Business Park and Crest Distribution Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Surface by surface

Movement joints in walls and floors

Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.

Washrooms and toilets

Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t typically be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Why deal with it now?

A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem.

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually carry out the work

What affects the price in SL7

The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:

  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Access and working height
  • Location, for remote and island sites

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What we need to price the job

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

  • The site address and postcode
  • Your programme or deadline
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Honest limits

Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:

  • Water from a services leak rather than a joint
  • Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
  • Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it

SL7: questions and answers

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

How many days will you need on site?

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

Will the building have to shut during the work?

Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we are sealing, until its cure time has passed.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.

How is commercial sealant work priced?

Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.

Which site documents can you send us?

Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.

Is your work guaranteed?

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