About commercial sealant contractors in TD13
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). Most enquiries involve mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, across washrooms and tea points, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts.
- 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.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Commercial sealant contractors across TD13: the area picture
In TD13, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Cockburnspath and Cove. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Across TD13, outside sealant work is planned around the weather, so we keep some flexibility in the dates. TD13 includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
Cockburnspath: A lasting commercial joint around Cockburnspath begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. For premises around Cockburnspath where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
What we are called out for in TD13
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. In commercial buildings those factors tend to act together.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
How the job changes by surface
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.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing.
Building owners, agents and FMs in TD13
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
FAQs: TD13
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. One contact and one process for every building makes a portfolio easier to manage.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Removal comes first, every time. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee, starting at sign-off. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
