Our commercial sealant contractors service in BN50
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job.
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Open spaces near Carlton Hill include Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
Shops, offices and hotels in BN50
From Carlton Hill, Hanover and Brunswick outwards, BN50 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact.
Around the motorway corridors of the South East, business parks and industrial estates are common, and we cover BN50 along with the rest of the region. On the coastal side of BN50, sea-facing elevations usually show failed joints first.
Carlton Hill: If you run a unit on an estate such as Freshfield Industrial Estate (under half a mile east of Carlton Hill), the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse. Units at places like Churchill Square (to the west of Carlton Hill) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.
Different surfaces, different methods
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant.
What we’re called out for in BN50
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade all let go sooner than they should. Guidance such as BS 6213 exists to steer sealant selection for exactly this reason, and many specifications refer to it.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records, and tell us if a joint we sealed gives trouble within that time.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. 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.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in BN50 can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Brighton and Hove.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Fixing joints complaint by complaint is a costly way to manage sealant. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We’ll suggest an order, worst sealant joints first.

Common questions from BN50 clients
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do we get a quote?
Start with whatever information is to hand. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
Is BN50 in your area?
Yes. BN50 falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured for public liability as well.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s normal for us to work in occupied buildings. Only the area being sealed is closed, and the sequence is agreed in advance.
