Commercial mastic work in The Haven
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure normally announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. We are commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. If you have shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job, we can put it right, on washrooms and tea points, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in The Haven, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Quotes for commercial sealant in The Haven can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, and the scope is set out in writing.
A job in a smaller place like The Haven is typically a single building. We will want a full list and photos first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Work we carry out in West Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

Cost factors for sealant joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around The Haven can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
Why act early in The Haven
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. For buildings around smaller places like The Haven, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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 joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Washrooms and toilets
Mould that has grown into washroom sealant can’t typically be cleaned out. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead.
Questions about The Haven
Is Spring Copse Business Park, near The Haven, within your area?
Yes, sites like Spring Copse Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of The Haven. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do hotels near The Haven have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Full removal is part of every quote. A bead laid on old silicone peels away, so it isn’t something we do.
Do you work in The Haven?
Yes. We take on work across The Haven, with one number for every area we cover.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That helps, but frost and condensation on glass and coated frames still stop outside sealing on some winter mornings.

A business with units at Spring Copse Business Park and The Old Brickworks Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
