Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Bell Tower Industrial Estate, by Ovingdean?
Yes, sites like Bell Tower Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Ovingdean. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Ovingdean too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Ovingdean is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you match any colour exactly?
No. An exact bespoke match isn’t something we can promise. We will show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range so you can choose.
Do you work on hotel and retail fit-outs?
Yes. Send the specification or colour reference and a fixed quote follows. We plan around trading hours where we can, within our working week.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Coloured sealant in Ovingdean
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light, so seeing it in place helps. Tell us who needs to approve the colour and we will plan for it. The enquiries we see most involve standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish and coloured joints that have cracked with movement, on natural stone and brick, cladding panels and shop-fit joinery and counters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ovingdean tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Ovingdean are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. If others near Ovingdean need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Signs you need coloured sealant in Ovingdean
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. The joint may work perfectly but look out of place.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Patch repairs in several different colours
Units at places like Pavilion Retail Park (to the north-west of Ovingdean) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Put the colour reference on the finishes schedule
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining and deal with problems early.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong; fixing it early prevents rework.
Coloured sealant around Ovingdean: what changes locally
Ovingdean lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. Ovingdean has eight care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound.
On estates like Bell Tower Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles west of Ovingdean, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. Refits at hotels like Olde Place Hotel (0.9 miles south-east of Ovingdean) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Office fit-out finishes
- Cladding panels
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Natural stone and brick
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
