How commercial sealant contractors works in BN3
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). We work on window and door perimeters, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks.
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Shops, offices and hotels in BN3
From Brighton, Hove and West Hill outwards, BN3 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
We work across Greater London and the South East counties, and every job in BN3 starts with access, parking and site rules. Parts of BN3 lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.
Brighton and Hove: A business with units at Portland Road Trading Estate and Goldstone Retail Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Offices and shops close to stations such as Aldrington station, less than half a mile east of Brighton and Hove, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
What we are called out for in BN3
The wrong sealant in the wrong place is a common cause of early failure. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade will all fail early. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
Different surfaces, different methods
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead, planned so the building keeps enough facilities in use.
Window and door perimeters
Where frames meet the surrounding wall, sealant is the weather line. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life, while a neutral cleaner and a soft cloth do no harm.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
FAQs: BN3
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us, and we’ll confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Do you work in BN3?
Yes. We take on work across BN3, with one number for every area we cover.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How do we get a quote?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are typically enough to start. Where we need to see it, we will arrange a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
