Common questions from Aldrington clients
Does the sea air around Aldrington change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Must a hotel around Aldrington close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No, not in every case. We match as closely as the product’s range allows.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Coloured sealant in Aldrington
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range, and you approve the choice. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. If you have smeared sealant on stone or joinery and a run of joints in mismatched shades, we can help, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, powder-coated and anodised frames and cladding panels alike. Most enquiries from Aldrington start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sealant jobs for businesses in a place the size of Aldrington are often best grouped: frontage, staff facilities and window perimeters on one booking. Fewer visits means less disruption to trading, and where colour matters on the frontage, we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Quoting for work in Aldrington

- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height

Coloured sealant around Aldrington: points for this area
Aldrington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Aldrington. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
For a hotel such as Princes Marine Hotel, 0.6 miles to the south-east of Aldrington, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Portland Road Trading Estate and Victoria Road Trading Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

When to call us in Aldrington
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start, or a different product was swapped in. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place, so someone asks for it to be changed.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
Offices and shops close to stations such as Portslade station (0.6 miles north-west of Aldrington) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldrington
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off in how the finished space looks. Small buildings around Aldrington suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
If other trades disturb a coloured joint, ask them to tell you rather than patch it. A mismatched repair stands out, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.
