Sealant specialists in Aldrington
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. If you have expansion joints with the sealant torn out and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints alike.

In Aldrington, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Places like Aldrington tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. 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: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Commercial sealant contractors around Aldrington: how the place shapes the job
Aldrington 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. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Aldrington. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean.
Sites a few miles apart, such as Portland Road Trading Estate and Victoria Road Trading Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. On estates like Portland Road Trading Estate (under half a mile north-west of Aldrington), the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Aldrington need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
A quote for sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
When to call us in Aldrington
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. Usually the movement was too much for the sealant chosen because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. The same product in the same joint tends to fail the same way, which is why we look at the joint design as well.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
Premises within reach of Portslade station, 0.6 miles north-west of Aldrington, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.

Questions about Aldrington
Can you work at a site such as Portland Road Trading Estate, by Aldrington?
Yes. Our area takes in Aldrington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Portland Road Trading Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can being near the sea in Aldrington affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you cover Aldrington?
Yes. We take on work across Aldrington, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
