Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in East Saltdean
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed. Where the sealant maker specifies a primer for that substrate, it goes on before the new bead, and a backing rod limits the depth to give the sealant room to work. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in East Saltdean from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Occupied buildings in East Saltdean need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Places like East Saltdean tend to have a handful of commercial buildings: a local shop, a pub or restaurant, a surgery, a school and the odd office or workshop. They’re not big jobs one by one, but their joints need the same preparation as anywhere.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, so we will flag it if the detail needs a different product.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Brickwork, blockwork and floor slabs all have movement joints that need a flexible seal. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. If anything looks wrong, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a photo.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.

Advice
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Meridian Shopping Centre, near East Saltdean?
Yes, sites like Meridian Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of East Saltdean. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Must a hotel around East Saltdean close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Leave it or put it right?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, which is where the lasting value is. Small buildings around East Saltdean suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
A quote for sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
