Our commercial sealant service in Reading

We fit the work around your building. Rooms can be done one at a time, floor by floor or in batches, and out-of-hours work or early starts can be arranged where it helps. We work on rental portfolios, office washrooms & kitchens and student & care accommodation, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant failing again soon after quick repairs and tired sealant in let properties.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a single washroom, longer for a whole building.

  1. First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
  2. Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
  3. Joints are cleaned, treated for mould and dried.
  4. Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
  5. Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.

What affects the price in Reading

Commercial buildings across Reading

Hotels, landlords, schools and businesses across Reading all have sealant to keep in order. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Reading is planned around the weather.

Caversham: Rented homes near Reading station change hands often, and several rental properties can be resealed on one programme. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hill Primary School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

Signs you need commercial sealant

Quick fixes come back quickly. Sealing over old silicone, sealing wet joints or using the wrong product means the joint fails again soon.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
  • Leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below
  • Split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks
  • Too many rooms to reseal without closing the building

Why act early?

Patching the worst rooms as complaints come in is hard to manage. A planned programme deals with every room in order, keeping disruption down and costs clear.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • The length of the guarantee
  • How the colour is chosen

When it is not the sealant

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
  • A broken extractor fan behind the mould problem
  • Damaged sanitaryware that needs replacing

Can I do it myself?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What affects the quote in Reading

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • Access and height
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The number and length of the joints

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs

If you’re in Reading and need commercial sealant, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.

Reading: your questions answered

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Does someone need to be in?

It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Do you take on large, multi-room jobs?

Yes. After a site walk, we agree the scope and sequence, and give you one clear quote.

When can guests or staff use the shower again?

Most areas can be used after around 24 hours. We give a cure time for each area.

Do the sealants smell?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

How do I get a quote for commercial sealant in Reading?
