Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Put any product change through the designer first
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
Construction mastic in Carlton Hill
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. The enquiries we see most involve window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and a long mastic snag list close to completion, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Carlton Hill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
On a small site around Carlton Hill, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
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.

Quoting for work in Carlton Hill
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Mastic packages on Carlton Hill sites
Carlton Hill lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The area within 2 miles of Carlton Hill holds plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Maon Hotel, which lies south-east of Carlton Hill, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a campus such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, 1.6 miles north of Carlton Hill, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. For contractors at a college like Waterbear College Brighton (0.5 miles west of Carlton Hill), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Carlton Hill is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Across the BN2 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Carlton Hill is one of 29 places we cover in Brighton and Hove.

What happens if it’s left?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. In a smaller place such as Carlton Hill, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Common questions from Carlton Hill clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Carlton Hill outside your area?
No. Places such as Carlton Hill are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
