Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work typically has to fit around trading. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we will plan around them, working in sections where that helps.

How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. The enquiries we see most involve greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and movement joints in walls and floors.

Occupied buildings in Hangleton need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Small businesses near places like Hangleton frequently occupy converted farm buildings. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. If that happens, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll price putting it right.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year normally mean more next year, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Why act early in Hangleton
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Sealant on show in Hangleton’s commercial buildings
With the shore within about 2 miles, Hangleton counts as a coastal location. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Hangleton. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet.
If you run a unit on an estate such as Portland Road Trading Estate, which lies south of Hangleton, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse. Offices and shops close to stations such as Portslade station (to the south of Hangleton) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Questions we are asked in Hangleton
Must a hotel around Hangleton close while you work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Does a coastal location like Hangleton affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves, so it isn’t something we do.

Advice
Nearby places to Hangleton
Also in Hangleton
Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Hangleton?
Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain; in time the surface chalks, hardens and cracks. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
A business with units at Portland Road Trading Estate and Victoria Road Trading Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
