Commercial sealant contractors in SW12

How commercial sealant contractors works in SW12

Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Outside, it closes facade joints, frame perimeters and movement joints against the weather. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. We work on washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and what we’re called in for most is water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked.

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it.

1. We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
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. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
5. Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
6. Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Cost factors for sealant joints

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

• The site’s rules and procedures
• How accessible the joints are
• Joint width, depth and condition
• Which sealant the job calls for

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Before you send an enquiry

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

• Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
• Anything awkward about access or site hours
• Your programme or deadline
• Asbestos survey details if the building is older

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.

Aftercare for building managers

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

• Respect the cure time before reopening an area
• Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
• Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
• Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant

Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.

An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, so sound, smooth joints matter.
