How we handle commercial sealant in Sonning Common
Office kitchens, staff washrooms and welfare facilities need to be usable every working day. We can plan the work for early mornings or out of hours to keep disruption down. You’re told when each area can be used again. If you have silicone laid over old silicone by a previous contractor and leaks from showers into rooms or ceilings below, we can put it right.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Sonning Common generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Log resealing so you know what’s due
- Add sealant to your planned maintenance checks
- Keep extractor fans working and serviced
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
Daily cleaning with harsh chemicals shortens the life of any sealant. Ask cleaners to use mild products and soft cloths on the sealant.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. Left long enough, it spreads through the bead, so the fix is replacement.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. A visit to Sonning Common is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We walk the site with you and agree the rooms, the order and the hours.
- Every area is sheeted and the old silicone stripped out.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

FAQs for Sonning Common
Can you do commercial sealant in Sonning Common?
Yes, Sonning Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Sonning Common?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can the hotel stay open while you work?
Generally, yes. We agree the room order and times with your managers, and each room is handed back with a cure time.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you reseal between tenancies?
Yes. A planned programme across a portfolio keeps things simple.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How the job changes by surface
Retail & leisure sites
Gym and leisure changing rooms take heavy use and plenty of water, so joints are sealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Welfare facilities
Failed sealant in welfare areas is a simple fix before an audit. Let us know when it needs to be done and we will schedule around it, cure time included.
Why act early in Sonning Common
Sealing over the old bead can seem the fastest option, but it won’t bond, and it lifts again soon. One proper reseal beats several quick ones. In a smaller place like Sonning Common, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
