Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like St Helen's affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you cover business parks and estates near St Helen's, such as York Road Business Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in St Helen's and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as York Road Business Centre included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
We follow the specified sealant. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
How we handle construction mastic in St Helen's
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in St Helen's, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. Most enquiries involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and different trades sealing to different standards, on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in St Helen's tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around places like St Helen's, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Sites and facades in and around St Helen's
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from St Helen's. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. St Helen's lies roughly 52 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When a school such as Ark Blacklands Primary Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor at a hotel such as Chatsworth Hotel, 1.4 miles south of St Helen's, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When units on a site such as York Road Business Centre (0.9 miles south-west of St Helen's) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
St Helen's is about 1 mile north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Any commercial site in St Helen's is covered. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Brighton, some 31 miles away.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The product your specification calls for
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
