Our commercial sealant contractors service in SO53
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. Site teams most often ask us about damp patches where an external joint has failed and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby, across movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and washrooms and tea points.
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- 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
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Near you in Chandler's Ford
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Thornden School, St Boniface and Chandler's Ford Infant School. Chandler's Ford has its own railway station: Chandlers Ford station. Nearby you will also find Princess Anne Hospital (4 miles south-west) and Eastleigh Museum (1.9 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Flexford Nature Reserve.
Commercial premises across SO53
In SO53, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Chandler's Ford, Allbrook and Hiltingbury. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in SO53 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.
Chandler's Ford: Refits at hotels like Village Hotel Club, 1.4 miles south of Chandler's Ford, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Units at places like Cannons Retail Park (1.2 miles south-east of Chandler's Ford) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.
What happens if it’s left?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, which is where the lasting value is.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
Common problems we fix in SO53
In wet areas the enemy is usually mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant; when mould is in the body of the sealant, no cleaner will shift it. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Look out for the following:
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in SO53 can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work normally has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
Your questions answered
What about asbestos in old mastic?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process.
Which site documents can you send us?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
