Our commercial sealant contractors service in TN17

On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, picking the product for each location rather than one tube for everything. Most enquiries involve frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, on external facade joints, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters.

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

  1. Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
  2. The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
  3. Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
  4. Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
  5. A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
  6. A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Commercial sealant contractors across TN17: the area picture

From Cranbrook, Goudhurst and Benenden outwards, TN17 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.

The South East is one of the UK’s drier regions, though outside work in TN17 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.

Cranbrook: Offices at parks like Hartley Dyke Business Centre (1.2 miles south-west of Cranbrook) have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters. A hotel such as The George Hotel, under half a mile north of Cranbrook, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Owners, agents and contractors

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

What happens if it’s left?

Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise.

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the existing material will be dealt with
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Their approach to joint depth and backing

Common problems we fix in TN17

Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Layers of sealant, all of them failing
  • Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
  • Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
  • Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off

How the job changes by surface

Washrooms and toilets

Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, with phased work so some facilities stay open.

Facade and cladding joints

On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Close-up photos or a site visit tell us what’s needed, with colours confirmed for the product chosen.

Honest limits

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
  • Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
  • Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for

Questions about TN17

Who decides which product is used?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.

Do you take on multi-site sealant work?

Yes, we can. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Are you CHAS accredited?

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Which site documents can you send us?

The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.

How do we get a quote?

Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, then a fixed quote.
