Commercial sealant contractors across East Sussex: what to expect

Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. Most enquiries involve a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, across floor and threshold joints, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints.

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

  1. We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
  2. You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
  3. We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
  4. Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
  5. Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
  6. We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Where commercial joints are in East Sussex

Commercial buildings across East Sussex range from older premises altered many times to recent units on business parks. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.

Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and we cover East Sussex along with the rest of the region. On the coastal side of East Sussex, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first.

Eastbourne: A hotel such as Victoria Hotel, 1 mile to the south-east of Eastbourne, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Hammond Industrial Estate and Britland Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

How the quote is worked out

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • The total length or number of joints
  • The product specified
  • How accessible the joints are

Pricing sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Sending details for a quote

We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Any dates the work must fit around
  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • The product your specification calls for

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

  • A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
  • Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
  • Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for

Why deal with it now?

Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover.

What your quote should include

  • The named product and why it was chosen
  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Proof of insurance
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Keeping the joints sound

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

  • Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
  • Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
  • Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
  • Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up

Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.

Sealant installed at the same time usually fails in sequence. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions from East Sussex clients

Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?

Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we’ll fit in.

Is the old sealant taken out first?

Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts.

Do you take on multi-site sealant work?

Yes, we can. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Who decides which product is used?

The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

How long do sealant joints last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
