Commercial sealant contractors for Portslade sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions answered

Does a coastal location like Portslade affect which sealant is used?

It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.

Is Portslade too small for you to travel to?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.

Which site documents can you send us?

Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and we’ll confirm the RAMS, insurance and CSCS details with the quote. For older buildings we’ll ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.

Can you handle sealant work across several sites?

Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, quoted per building or as a package.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What do you need from us to 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.

Commercial mastic work in Portslade

On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested. If you’re dealing with earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations, we can help, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and external facade joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Portslade, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

A lot of what we do in Portslade is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.

Small businesses near places like Portslade 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.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Water from a services leak rather than a joint
  • A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
  • Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)

Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Movement joints in walls and floors
  • Washrooms and tea points
  • Floor and threshold joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
  • External facade joints

Leave it or put it right?

On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. A specialist applicator takes care of product choice, joint depth and preparation, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.

Pricing sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

What you get with us

  • Colours confirmed for the specified product
  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • Health and safety: CHAS accredited
  • A range of standard colours, depending on the product

Commercial clients in Portslade

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Portslade

The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Portslade. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Portslade. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen.

On estates like Victoria Road Trading Estate, 0.6 miles south-east of Portslade, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. For a shop at a centre such as Goldstone Retail Park (1.9 miles east of Portslade), tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures. Sites a few miles apart, such as Victoria Road Trading Estate and Portland Road Trading Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.

What affects the price in Portslade

What shapes the price:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Access and working height
  • Working within restricted access windows

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Sending details for a quote

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • The asbestos register, for older buildings
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The postcode of the building

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.

Our process

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Portslade, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.

  1. Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
  2. A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
  3. Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
  4. The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
  5. Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
  6. We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
