Commercial sealant contractors in East Ashling, done properly
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line. A single leaking joint is often how a building in East Ashling first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In East Ashling, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
Rural business units near smaller places such as East Ashling are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
Common questions from East Ashling clients
Is East Ashling too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as East Ashling are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in East Ashling?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally 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 will give you a timescale with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. A bead laid on old silicone peels away.
Cost factors for sealant joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, working in sections where that helps.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control, and we install to the specification.
