Our commercial sealant contractors service in Brighton and Hove
Failed sealant isn’t always the whole story. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so budgets go where they’ll do some good. We work on washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops.
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Around Brighton
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Fairlight Primary School, St Martin's Church and Park Crescent pub and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (0.9 miles west), Academy of Creative Training (0.9 miles south) and William Clarke Park (under half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Brighton itself: London Road (Brighton) station. A little further out are Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
Shops, offices and hotels in Brighton and Hove
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and Brighton and Hove is part of the area we cover. Parts of Brighton and Hove lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.
Brighton: Premises within reach of London Road (Brighton) station, less than half a mile to the north-west of Brighton, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. A business with units at Centenary Industrial Estate and Pavilion Retail Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, and cleanability is part of what an inspector looks at. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted.
Why act early?
Spot repairs have their place. Where the remaining sealant is just as old, it tends to fail soon after, and a second visit means paying for access and set-up again. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Your questions answered
Which site documents can you send us?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can areas stay open during the work?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
