Commercial mastic work in Old Town
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. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We work on window and door perimeters, washrooms and tea points and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are expansion joints with the sealant torn out and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Old Town? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Old Town can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Small businesses near places like Old Town frequently occupy converted farm buildings. Those conversions put new frames and partitions against old brick, stone or timber, so each joint needs a product chosen for both surfaces.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

FAQs: Old Town
Is Old Town off your patch?
Not at all. Old Town is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a hotel in Old Town need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.

Common problems we fix in Old Town
Every sealant joint is a maintenance item. Its life comes down to movement, UV and weather, how it’s cleaned, how much traffic passes it and what was used in the first place. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once.
Look out for the following:
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
In hotels such as Arundel Private Hotel, 1 mile south-east of Old Town, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Town
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. Small buildings around Old Town suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Working on commercial sites near Old Town
Old Town is within about 2 miles of the coast. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Rainfall across the South East, Old Town included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
Shopping centres and retail parks such as Hampden Park Retail Park, 1.8 miles to the north-east of Old Town, see a steady turnover of shop fits, each leaving joints where colour and finish matter. Shops and cafés around stations like Eastbourne station (to the east of Old Town) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Old Town is about 1 mile south-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Old Town sits inside our coverage and the rest of East Sussex, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 308 places across East Sussex fall within our area, Old Town among them.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work typically has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, working in sections where that helps.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
