What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Four Throws
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters

- Washrooms and tea points
Commercial sealant contractors in Four Throws, done properly
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes. Whoever orders the work in Four Throws, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In an occupied building in Four Throws, the job is planned so areas stay in use: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Commercial sealant work around smaller places like Four Throws tends to mean pubs and restaurants, halls, farm shops and offices in converted farm buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Commercial sealant contractors in Four Throws: the local picture
Four Throws sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it. Four Throws has two named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
For tenants and agents on sites such as Hawkhurst Station Business Park (2 miles north-west of Four Throws), office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work. Sites a few miles apart, such as Hawkhurst Station Business Park and Bodiam Business Park, can share one programme and one point of contact. Offices and shops close to stations such as Etchingham station (4.5 miles south-west of Four Throws) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Four Throws is about 12 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. Commercial clients in Four Throws can call on us for sealant joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Four Throws among them. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area, about 32 miles away.

What affects the price in Four Throws
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Four Throws outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Four Throws, such as Hawkhurst Station Business Park?
Yes, sites like Hawkhurst Station Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Four Throws. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
What site paperwork can you provide?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, we can. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
How the job changes by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Four Throws may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
