What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cleaning or repairing the surrounding finishes
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering

About our coloured sealant in Westdene
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, however well it was installed. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. Most enquiries involve sealant that no longer suits recoated frames and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, on cladding panels, natural stone and brick and shop-fit joinery and counters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Westdene? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For a business in Westdene, it usually makes sense to put the sealant work into one visit: shopfront, washroom, kitchen and any external joints done together. Fewer visits means less disruption to trading, and where colour matters on the frontage, we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Coloured sealant around Westdene: how the place shapes the job
With the shore within about 3 miles, Westdene counts as a coastal location. 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. Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Westdene. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean.
In hotels such as Preston Park Hotel, 1 mile south-east of Westdene, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. Shops and cafés around stations like Preston Park station (to the south of Westdene) trade from early, so work is timed around them. Occupiers with premises at both Goldstone Retail Park and Hollingbury Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Westdene is about 2 miles north-east of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. If you’re looking for coloured sealant in Westdene, we can help, as we do across Brighton and Hove. Westdene is one of 29 places we cover in Brighton and Hove for colour-matched joints.

Westdene: questions and answers
Is Westdene off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do hotels near Westdene have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will the sealant be an exact match to our finish?
No. An exact bespoke match isn’t something we can promise. We will show you the closest colours in the specified product’s range for your approval.
Is coloured sealant weaker than white?
Colour is a choice within a product’s range, not a separate type of sealant. Preparation, backing and tooling are what make it last.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. A trial length can be applied and approved before the full run. Cured sealant can look slightly different from the wet bead.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Quoting for work in Westdene
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Work in places the size of Westdene is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
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.

What else we do in Westdene
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Reseal whole runs rather than patching single joints
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration and deal with problems early.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent.
