When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Chiltington
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For a building around Chiltington, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Chiltington
At about 40 miles from central London, Chiltington is within reach of the capital. Business parks and retail centres are common around the capital’s motorway corridors. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
Shops and cafés around stations like Cooksbridge station (to the south-east of Chiltington) trade from early, so work is timed around them. A lasting commercial joint around Chiltington begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Chiltington is about 3 miles north-west of Lewes, in East Sussex. We cover Chiltington, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Near you in Chiltington
The closest station to Chiltington is Cooksbridge station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Lewes Castle (3.5 miles south-east) and Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft (3.9 miles west). Not far away are Blackcap and Malling Down.
Why act early in Chiltington
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 a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme. Converted and older buildings near places like Chiltington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Common questions from Chiltington clients
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Chiltington?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is a smaller place like Chiltington outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
How do we get a quote?
Send photos, drawings or a list of locations through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in.
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it.
