Commercial mastic work in Hollingbury
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phasing keeps some washrooms, kitchens or entrances available while others are done. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. The enquiries we see most involve expansion joints with the sealant torn out and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked, on window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and floor and threshold joints. Whoever orders the work in Hollingbury, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Hollingbury can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Around smaller places such as Hollingbury, small firms often work from converted barns, yards and rural units. Old masonry and timber meet new glazing and partitions in these buildings, and every junction needs a sealant that suits it.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Questions about Hollingbury
Can you work at a site such as Hollingbury Industrial Estate, by Hollingbury?
Yes. Our area takes in Hollingbury and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hollingbury Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our building in Hollingbury is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance, until its cure time has passed.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
How do we get a quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
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 new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Hollingbury can form part of a wider programme.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll price putting it right.
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, which makes sound joints worth keeping on top of.
When to call us in Hollingbury
In wet areas the enemy is usually mould rather than movement. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant. The fix is a new bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
Shops and cafés around stations like Moulsecoomb station (to the south-east of Hollingbury) trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Hollingbury
Hollingbury sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. At about 44 miles from central London, Hollingbury is within reach of the capital. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. If you have premises across the region, one contractor can cover them all.
In a retail centre such as Pavilion Retail Park, 1.3 miles to the south of Hollingbury, new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. Sites a few miles apart, such as Hollingbury Industrial Estate and Home Farm Business Park, can share one programme and one point of contact.
