For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Coloured sealant in Southbourne, done properly
Colour is often written into the specification, by RAL reference or by matching a sample. Most sealant types are made in a broad range of standard colours, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product before we quote. An exact bespoke match can’t always be promised, so we talk you through the nearest colours. If you have poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and discoloured joints on a visible elevation, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Southbourne, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sealant jobs for businesses in a place the size of Southbourne are often best grouped: shopfront, washroom, kitchen and any external joints done together. Fewer visits means less disruption to trading.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
- Materials with mixed tones that defy a single match
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. For a site in Southbourne, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open

Coloured sealant around Southbourne: points for this area
Southbourne 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. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. Southbourne 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 Southbourne station, less than half a mile to the south-east of Southbourne, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. Parks like Hambrook Business Park (to the north-east of Southbourne) see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal.
Southbourne is about 4 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Across the PO10 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 373 places across West Sussex fall within our area, Southbourne among them. Portsmouth is covered too, some 8 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Southbourne
Most enquiries start with a joint that looks wrong: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
A business with units at Hambrook Business Park and Broadbridge Business Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their public liability cover
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Quoting for work in Southbourne
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Questions about Southbourne
Do hotels near Southbourne have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can being near the sea in Southbourne affect the sealant we need?
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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. You’ll see the nearest options.
Can we approve the colour on site?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. The colour can shift a little as it cures, so it’s worth checking in real light.
Do you take on colour-matched sealant for shop fits and multi-site roll-outs?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Our area takes in Greater London, the South East and Scotland, so a consistent colour can run across several sites.
