How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Hailsham
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike. The enquiries we see most involve wall and floor joints that have lost their seal and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, across floor and threshold joints, window and door perimeters and external facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hailsham? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
If you look after more than one building near Hailsham, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Many businesses in towns like Hailsham work from older buildings that have been altered more than once. Joints where brick or render meets a newer frame or panel move differently, so the sealant has to suit both sides, in a colour that suits the frontage.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Cleanability is something environmental health officers pay attention to, so sound, smooth joints matter.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Your questions answered
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Hailsham?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Does a hotel in Hailsham need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.

What else we do in Hailsham
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. In a town such as Hailsham, most jobs are single buildings. We start with your photos, drawings or a site visit, then send a fixed 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.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Get a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.

When to call us in Hailsham
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
Premises within reach of Polegate station, 3 miles south of Hailsham, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing

Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen; brand colours often come into it. A 2-mile radius around Hailsham takes in several hotels.

In a retail centre such as Hailsham Retail Park (0.5 miles south-west of Hailsham), new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.
