About commercial sealant contractors in SW15

Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we’re there. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. The enquiries we see most involve mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, across floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and movement joints in walls and floors.

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts.

  1. We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  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.

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to ARK Putney Academy, Polish Church of St John the Evangelist and The Railway pub, among other places. Nearby too are Putney School of Art and Design (less than half a mile east), Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School (under half a mile north) and Bishops Park (0.6 miles north-east).

Shops, offices and hotels in SW15

Across SW15, from Hurlingham, Putney and Wandsworth to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact.

Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and SW15 is part of the area we cover.

Putney: Occupiers with premises at both Hurlingham Business Park and Chartwell Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. In hotels such as Putney Hotel (less than half a mile east of Putney), refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

What affects the price in SW15

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Removal of failed or old sealant

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Details that help us quote

We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:

  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • The site address and postcode
  • Any specification or named product
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Surface by surface

Commercial kitchens and tea points

In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.

Shop fronts and retail fit-outs

In retail, sealant is on show. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, frequently colour-matched to the fit-out. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.

What happens if it’s left?

Putting off a reseal typically moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next, and the bill then involves other trades. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route.

Comparing quotes

  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • The terms of the workmanship guarantee
  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:

  • Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
  • Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
  • Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)

FAQs: SW15

What site paperwork can you provide?

We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.

Is the old sealant taken out first?

Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.

How long do sealant joints last?

Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Can areas stay open during the work?

We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

Does the weather affect the work?

Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?

Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us.
