Our commercial sealant contractors service in W7
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and damp patches where an external joint has failed.
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What you’ll pay
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Where commercial joints are in W7
From Southall, Hanwell and West Ealing outwards, W7 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.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and W7 is part of the area we cover.
Hanwell: For a shop at a centre such as Westway Shopping Park, 2.3 miles to the north of Hanwell, tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures. Offices and shops close to stations such as Hanwell station (to the north of Hanwell) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t normally be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, room by room if that suits the building.
Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around W7. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Common problems we fix in W7
No sealant joint is permanent. How long one lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure to sun and weather, the cleaning regime, the traffic and the product itself. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, which is why regular inspection pays.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
W7: questions and answers
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can areas stay open during the work?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Which site documents can you send us?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
