Sealant specialists in Ashurst
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. The enquiries we see most involve frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job, across window and door perimeters, external facade joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ashurst first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Ashurst can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Ashurst tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Ashurst may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashurst
Reactive resealing, a leak at a time, tends to cost more overall than a plan. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We will suggest an order, worst sealant joints first. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ashurst, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours

Sealant on show in Ashurst’s commercial buildings
With the shore within about 3 miles, Ashurst counts as a coastal location. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Ashurst is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.
If you run an office at a site such as Rushington Business Park, 1 mile to the north-east of Ashurst, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. Shops and cafés around stations like Ashurst New Forest station (0.7 miles south-west of Ashurst) trade from early, so work is timed around them. Refits at hotels like Woodlands Lodge New Forest Hotel, 1.4 miles west of Ashurst, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Ashurst outside your area?
No. Places such as Ashurst are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Rushington Business Park, by Ashurst?
Yes. Our area takes in Ashurst and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Rushington Business Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, we can. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
