From enquiry to sign-off

- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Coloured sealant in East Saltdean, done properly
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work. A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. If you have a run of joints in mismatched shades and failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in East Saltdean, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In a smaller place such as East Saltdean, commercial buildings are usually a mix of shops, a pub or café, a school, a surgery and perhaps a few business units. Each job is modest, yet a joint in a small café needs the same cutting out, cleaning and sealing as one in a city office.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in East Saltdean
East Saltdean sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. East Saltdean sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Southease station (3.3 miles north-east of East Saltdean) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. For a retailer at a site such as Meridian Shopping Centre (1.4 miles east of East Saltdean), the joints clients see are as much part of the fit-out as the shelving. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Meridian Shopping Centre and Meridian Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Different surfaces, different methods
Hotel interiors
Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, including shades for tiled and stone bathrooms.
Natural stone
Stone has variation, so the aim is a colour that sits naturally against it. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Exact bespoke colour matches beyond the product’s range
- A colour that never alters with age
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions from East Saltdean clients
Is Meridian Shopping Centre, near East Saltdean, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around East Saltdean, Meridian Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will our hotel in East Saltdean need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?
Yes, in many cases. Coloured sanitary sealant suits tiled and stone wet areas.
Do you match sealant to RAL colours?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. We will tell you which colour is closest before work starts.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. Tell us who approves colour and we’ll plan the sample into the programme before the main run.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
Colour is a choice within a product’s range, not a separate type of sealant. A properly prepared and tooled joint performs as the product intends.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
