How the job changes by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted, in a shade that suits the frame.
Sealant specialists in Wilmington
Having a single contact for all your sites makes sealant far simpler to manage. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. To get a programme moving in Wilmington, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site addresses. We work on washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Wilmington it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
A lot of what we do in Wilmington is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Work in smaller places such as Wilmington tends to come one building at a time: a pub kitchen, a hall, a small office. We will want a full list and photographs first, so the right products come on the day and nothing waits for a second trip.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Wilmington, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Wilmington: questions and answers
Do hotels near Wilmington have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is a smaller place like Wilmington outside your area?
Not at all. Wilmington 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.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes. We take on runs of jobs across portfolios as well as single sites.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed. If that happens, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email 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, so sound, smooth joints matter.
What Wilmington’s businesses ask us to seal
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External joints still need dry faces and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold work up. Wilmington lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. This part of the South East is dense with business parks and out-of-town offices. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site.
Refits at hotels like Crossways Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Wilmington, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. On a business park such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park (1.3 miles west of Wilmington), sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters. Shops and cafés around stations like Berwick (Sussex) station, 1.8 miles north-west of Wilmington, trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Wilmington is about 4 miles south-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex.
