Commercial sealant contractors in TN23: how it works
If you look after more than one building, a single sealant contractor saves a lot of chasing. Single jobs, multi-site packages and planned programmes all come to us, handled with the same process each time: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. To get a programme moving in TN23, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site addresses. The enquiries we see most involve expansion joints with the sealant torn out and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.

Commercial sealant contractors across TN23: the area picture
From Ashford, Stanhope and Godinton outwards, TN23 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
We work across Greater London and the South East counties, and every job in TN23 starts with access, parking and site rules.
Ashford: Offices and shops close to stations such as Ashford International station (less than half a mile north-east of Ashford) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. A hotel such as Castle Hotel (to the north of Ashford) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
How the job changes by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work normally has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we will plan around them, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
What happens if it’s left?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover.
Comparing quotes
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How joint depth will be controlled
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
Good ventilation keeps wet-area sealant in better condition. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, and mould follows damp. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
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, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
FAQs: TN23
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations through the quote form on this site. Where we need to see it, we will arrange a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
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.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and we’ll confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
