Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is easy to forget until an audit or inspection is due. Booking it in good time leaves room for the cure time before the visit, without a last-minute rush. Around Piccotts End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What commercial sealant looks like in Piccotts End
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Piccotts End is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. Hemel Hempstead was planned with its own industrial and business areas, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Each has washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints to keep in order.
If you let a flat or house near Hemel Hempstead station, several rental properties can be resealed on one programme. If you look after a building such as Galley Hill Primary School and Nursery, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell cleaning staff when each room can be used
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
- Plan resealing around quiet periods
- Report broken fans quickly
Keep the extraction running and maintained. In internal bathrooms, a weak or broken fan lets moisture linger, and mould comes back faster without it.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than sealant
- Water damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler or builder
- Assessing what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Your questions about commercial sealant in Piccotts End
Do you cover smaller places like Piccotts End?
Yes, Piccotts End is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Hemel Hempstead station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. We will tell you when we quote.
How do I get a quote for commercial sealant in Piccotts End?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Do you need commercial sealant in Piccotts End?
Commercial buildings settle and move with temperature, and stud walls move more than solid ones. Joints between different materials take the strain.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant failing again soon after quick repairs
- Failed floor-level joints in accessible wet rooms
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.
