Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Five Ashes may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, 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.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Commercial sealant contractors in Five Ashes, done properly
Getting a price for commercial sealant contractors in Five Ashes doesn’t need to be drawn out. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form; you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the details. If the joints need seeing in person, a site visit comes first, and a fixed quote for the agreed scope follows. The enquiries we see most involve earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and damp patches where an external joint has failed, across washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Five Ashes first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In Five Ashes, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Five Ashes tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Kitchens, toilets and window frames in all of them need resealing sooner or later.
Work we carry out in East Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What else we do in Five Ashes
What the job involves on each surface
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Movement joints in walls and floors let the structure expand and contract. When the seal fails, debris gets in and the joint stops working. The new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
What Five Ashes’s businesses ask us to seal
At about 37 miles from central London, Five Ashes is within reach of the capital. The South East around the capital has large numbers of business parks, offices and retail centres, especially around the motorway corridors. Occupiers with several premises in the region tend to prefer one contractor and one point of contact. Rainfall across the South East, Five Ashes included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.

FAQs: Five Ashes
Will you take on work at estates like Station Road Industrial Estate, close to Five Ashes?
Yes. We cover Five Ashes and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Station Road Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Five Ashes too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Five Ashes is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which site documents can you send us?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How do we get a quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Five Ashes
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants, and many specifications refer to it.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
A unit on an estate like Station Road Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the south-east of Five Ashes, typically has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their public liability cover
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Cost factors for sealant joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
