Questions we’re asked in Upper Dicker
Is Upper Dicker too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do hotels near Upper Dicker have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Full removal is part of every quote. A bead laid on old silicone peels away and isn’t worth paying for.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients. Tell us how you issue work and we’ll fit in.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, we can. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and we will put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
Sealant specialists in Upper Dicker
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form and you can also call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to talk it through. If the joints need seeing in person, a site visit comes first, followed by a fixed quote rather than an estimate that drifts. Most enquiries involve greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked, on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Upper Dicker start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
A lot of what we do in Upper Dicker is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
In and around smaller places such as Upper Dicker, the commercial buildings we’re asked about are often pubs, shops, village halls and barns converted to offices. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames whose joints need renewing in time.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

- Floor and threshold joints

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint. Leaving the area closed until then keeps the bead neat.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. If others near Upper Dicker need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

What’s near Upper Dicker
Around Upper Dicker, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Plough Inn, Park Mead Primary School and Hailsham Community College, among other places. The nearest railway station is Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.5 miles south-west. A little further out are Agricultural Museum (3.6 miles south) and Hellingly Hospital Railway (2.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Firle Beacon.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Older rural buildings around Upper Dicker move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

How the job changes by surface
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
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, in a shade that suits the frame.
