Commercial sealant contractors across BN52: what to expect
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind, and repeated splits in a movement joint can mean the joint is too narrow for the movement. We look before we quote and tell you plainly if sealant won’t solve it, so budgets go where they’ll do some good. We work on floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints packed with grit and debris and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down.
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

Commercial sealant contractors across BN52: the area picture
Across BN52, from Hove to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. 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 BN52 starts with access, parking and site rules.
Hove: Units at retail parks like Goldstone Retail Park, 0.5 miles to the north of Hove, change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage. Sites a few miles apart, such as Goldstone Retail Park and Portland Road Trading Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact.
Why it fails
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Why act early?
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. We can seal the urgent joints now and leave the rest for the programme.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Questions about BN52
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you cover BN52?
Yes. Sites across BN52 are covered.
How do we get a quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we’ll look at it.
