Advice
Commercial sealant for homes and businesses in Fords Farm
Wet areas get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and kitchens get a food-safe product where it’s needed. Products include Arbo and Everbuild sealants, chosen to suit each joint. If you have silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor and joints that need doing before an inspection or audit, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Fords Farm, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Keep a record of which rooms were resealed and when
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
- Act on lifting sealant before it leaks
Include sealant in routine room inspections. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.
In a commercial building, a leak can quickly spread beyond one room: through floors, into ceilings and across into corridors. Early resealing keeps it from getting that far.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
- Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
- Cracked trays or baths rather than failed joints
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

- Retail & leisure sites
- Hotel bathrooms
- Office washrooms & kitchens
- Rental portfolios

Different surfaces, different methods
Retail & leisure sites
Changing areas and showers at leisure sites are wet all day, so joints are sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Hotel bathrooms
In a hotel, every bathroom is used and cleaned daily, so joints are finished smooth and sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Fords Farm
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
If you are in Fords Farm and need commercial sealant, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before we start.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Questions from Fords Farm
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading Green Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Fords Farm for commercial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fords Farm is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is commercial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Mild cleaning and good ventilation help it last.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you work around guests in a hotel?
Yes. The order and timing are agreed with your team, and you’ll know when each room can be used.
How long does commercial sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Commercial buildings in Fords Farm
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kennet Valley Primary School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours. Community buildings like St Matthew's are part of the picture too: its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else. If you let a flat or house near Reading Green Park station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.
