Questions about Brightons
Is Brightons too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Brightons are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is Redding Industrial Estate, near Brightons, within your area?
Yes, sites like Redding Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Brightons. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
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.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Mastic sealing in Brightons, done properly
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve failed external movement joints and leaks at window and door perimeters, across communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Brightons, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Brightons, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic usually fails first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brightons
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Brightons before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Brightons is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
