Silicone Sealant Application

What We Do Best

Large Floor Sealing Contracts

Floor sealing is the work we are set up for. Long perimeter runs, corridor after corridor, whole floors of a building in one visit — contracts of 2500 metres and well beyond are routine for us.

Most main contractors and flooring firms will happily lay the floor and then look for somebody else to seal it. We are that somebody. We come in behind the floor layers, work to your programme and get the perimeters, thresholds and junctions sealed in one continuous pass rather than dragging it out over weeks.

Project Spotlight

Chorlton High School — Floor Sealing

A full floor sealing package across classrooms, corridors and circulation space at Chorlton High School — over 2500m of perimeter, threshold and junction sealing worked through around the school’s programme.

New flooring had gone down across the building and every perimeter needed sealing to a clean, straight, consistent line before the school reopened. We worked section by section behind the floor layers, sealed to the specification given, and finished with a walk round so nothing was left on a snag list.

• Over 2500m metres of floor perimeter, thresholds and door lines
• Sealed to the specification supplied, colour matched to the flooring
• Phased around the school timetable and the flooring contractor
• Continuous, straight beads down full corridor lengths
• Signed off area by area with no return visits

Sector 01

New Builds & Renovations

Sealant is the last trade on a plot and the first thing a buyer runs a finger along. We seal new builds, conversions and full renovations plot by plot, phased to your handover dates and priced off drawings rather than day rates.

We also pick up a steady amount of remedial work on developments where the original sealant has already failed — shrunken beads, mould in silicone barely a year old, or bathrooms a buyer has refused to sign off.

• Bathrooms, en-suites, wet rooms, kitchens and utilities
• Floor perimeters, skirtings and thresholds
• Internal and external expansion and movement joints
• Window and door perimeter pointing, inside and out
• Snagging and remedial programmes across whole developments

Sector 02

Schools, Colleges & Universities

Education work lives or dies on the calendar. Half terms, summer holidays and inset days are when the building is empty and the work has to be finished — so that is when we put the men on and work straight through.

Chorlton High School, Manchester University and a string of academies and colleges across the North West have had floor sealing, washroom refurbishments and science block work off us on exactly that basis.

• Corridor and classroom floor perimeters — hundreds of metres at a time
• Toilet blocks, changing rooms, showers and IPS panels
• Science labs, prep rooms and technology workshops
• Kitchens, canteens and servery areas
• Holiday and out-of-hours working, DBS-checked applicators

Sector 03

Laboratories & Clean Environments

Laboratory joints get a harder life than almost anything else we seal. Benching is wiped down with solvents and disinfectants several times a day, and washdown areas are sealed to keep moisture out of the substrate rather than just to look tidy.

We seal to whatever the lab specification calls for — chemical-resistant systems around benching and fume cupboards, hygienic sealant on clean room junctions, standard neutral cure where the joint only ever sees water.

• Laboratory benching, worktops, sinks and troughs
• Fume cupboards, safety cabinets and service risers
• Clean rooms, sterile suites and controlled environments
• Food production, pharmaceutical and washdown areas
• Work phased around research and teaching schedules

Sector 04

Hospitals & Healthcare

In a hospital a sealant joint is an infection control detail. A split bead behind a sluice sink or a shrunken joint at a floor-to-wall junction is somewhere that cannot be cleaned, and it shows up on an audit long before anybody complains about how it looks.

We work inside live buildings — wards released a bay at a time, low-odour neutral cure products where patients are close by, and RAMS, permits and DBS-checked applicators in place before we arrive. NHS and Circle Health Group are both regular work for us.

• Wards, side rooms, en-suites and assisted bathrooms
• Sluice rooms, dirty utilities and clinical wash areas
• Theatres, treatment rooms and clean environments
• Staff changing, locker rooms, canteens and plant rooms
• Hygienic wall cladding, IPS panels and floor-to-wall coving

Sector 05

Hotels & Hospitality

A guest notices two things in a hotel bathroom: whether it smells clean and whether the silicone is mouldy. Rooms are wet every single day, so hotel sealant takes a beating that a domestic bathroom never will.

We work room by room to whatever the hotel can take out of service — a floor at a time, overnight, or across a full refurbishment. Lakeside Hotel & Spa and Classic Lodges are among the groups we work for.

• Guest bathrooms, en-suites, wet rooms and shower pods
• Public toilets, spa areas, pools and changing facilities
• Bars, kitchens, servery and back-of-house areas
• Bedroom floor perimeters, skirtings and thresholds
• Rolling programmes room by room with minimal rooms out of service

Sector 06

Football Clubs & Sports Facilities

Training grounds and stadiums are wet, high-traffic buildings with a very small window to work in. Everything has to be finished, cured and back in use before the squad is next through the door, and the finish has to stand up to being looked at by people who expect the best.

We sealed the Manchester City FC first team locker room and canteen — showers, changing benching, floor perimeters and worktops — worked around the club’s schedule and handed back on time.

• First team and academy changing rooms and locker areas
• Communal showers & wet areas.
• Canteens, kitchens and player dining areas
