Our commercial sealant contractors service in SM1
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, and a fixed quote for the agreed scope follows. Most enquiries involve greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and movement joints packed with grit and debris, on window and door perimeters, floor and threshold joints and washrooms and tea points.
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.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
How we quote
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us

Commercial sealant contractors across SM1: the area picture
From Sutton, Carshalton and The Wrythe outwards, SM1 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, but external sealing in SM1 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up.
Sutton: Sites a few miles apart, such as Kimpton Industrial Park and Beverley Trading Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. Shops and cafés around stations like Sutton (London) station, under half a mile to the south of Sutton, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. A periodic look catches splits and lifting edges early, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. Should something look amiss, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and send a picture.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.

What we’re called out for in SM1
In wet areas the enemy is normally mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead, and once established it rarely cleans out. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Shop fits put sealant right in front of customers. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Common questions from SM1 clients
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
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 if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is your work guaranteed?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
Do you cover SM1?
Yes. We cover SM1, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
