Our commercial sealant contractors service in SS17
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface. Most enquiries involve damp patches where an external joint has failed and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, on window and door perimeters, external facade joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Where commercial joints are in SS17
Across SS17, from Stanford-le-Hope, Balstonia and Corringham to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and we cover SS17 along with the rest of the region. On the coastal side of SS17, sea-facing elevations usually show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Stanford-le-Hope: On estates like London Gateway Logistics Park, which lies south-east of Stanford-le-Hope, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. For premises near Stanford-Le-Hope station (0.9 miles south-west of Stanford-le-Hope), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, matched to the frame colour where colour matters.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control, and we install to the specification.
Commercial clients in SS17
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting off a reseal typically moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, and the bill then involves other trades. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, so sound, smooth joints matter.
FAQs: SS17
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
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.
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.
Will the building have to shut 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.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients as well as contractors. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away, so it isn’t something we do.
