On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Rural sites near Ashurst may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Commercial sealant contractors in Ashurst
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. Site teams most often ask us about shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and layers of sealant, all of them failing, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and movement joints in walls and floors.

Occupied buildings in Ashurst need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Work in smaller places such as Ashurst tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We plan the visit so everything on the list is done in one go, with the right products and colours on hand.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Ashurst
Rainfall across the South East, Ashurst included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates. Ashurst has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal.
On estates like Hollands Lane Industrial Estate, which lies east of Ashurst, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.
Ashurst is about 7 miles north of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We cover Ashurst, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. Brighton is covered too, some 11 miles away.

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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When to call us in Ashurst
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
Sites a few miles apart, such as Hollands Lane Industrial Estate and Star Trading Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Cost factors for sealant joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. If that happens, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will price putting it right.
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. Catching it at the sealant stage avoids the bigger repair.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

Questions about Ashurst
Does your area include sites such as Hollands Lane Industrial Estate, near Ashurst?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ashurst, Hollands Lane Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Ashurst off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
