Your questions answered
Is Riverside Industrial Estate, near South Malling, within your area?
Yes. We cover South Malling and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Riverside Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does a hotel in South Malling need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is coloured sealant weaker than white?
Performance comes from the sealant type and the installation. We choose the right product for the joint first and then pick from its colour range.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in South Malling
Coloured sealant is a finishing trade, so it normally comes late in a programme. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work, and snag any marks before we leave. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish, we can put it right, on office fit-out finishes, cladding panels and shop-fit joinery and counters alike. Whoever orders the work in South Malling, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a business in South Malling, it typically makes sense to put the sealant work into one visit: frontage, staff facilities and window perimeters on one booking. Fewer visits means less disruption to trading.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Quoting for work in South Malling
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A colour that never alters with age
- Overpainting a joint that needs a non-paintable product
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in South Malling
What happens if it’s left?
A mismatched or discoloured bead is a small detail that buyers, guests and clients notice. Putting it right costs little compared with the finishes around it. In a smaller place such as South Malling, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Pricing colour-matched joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Advice
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Insist on the agreed colour for any repair
Include coloured sealant in planned building checks. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration and deal with problems early.
Ask for a trial bead on high-profile areas. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.

Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal; brand colours often come into it.
Premises within reach of Lewes station (0.7 miles south of South Malling) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Occupiers with premises at both Riverside Industrial Estate and Phoenix Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

What we’re called out for in South Malling
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
For a hotel such as Crown Hotel, which lies south of South Malling, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
