What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

In a town the size of Chichester, commercial buildings tend to be high-street shops, offices over shops, schools, care homes and small industrial units. Each has joints that wear: frontages, staff kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Working on commercial sites near Chichester
Central London is about 54 miles from Chichester. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Multi-site occupiers here often want one sealant contractor across all their buildings. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Chichester. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Premises within reach of Chichester station (0.6 miles south of Chichester) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Sites a few miles apart, such as City Business Park and Terminus Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. In a retail centre such as Summersdale Retail Park (1.3 miles north of Chichester), new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.

Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For a town like Chichester, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit, with one quote covering them. Give us your access times and we will fit the work in.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- 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.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line, frequently colour-matched to the fit-out. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Why act early in Chichester
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. In a town like Chichester, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.

Questions we’re asked in Chichester
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Chichester?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Does a hotel in Chichester need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What site paperwork can you provide?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll price putting it right.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
