Commercial sealant contractors in PO20: how it works
A reseal stands or falls on the preparation underneath it. Silicone has no grip on cured silicone, so the failed bead is cut out completely, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and washrooms and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- 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.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Selsey
Recent enquiries here include premises near The Fisherman's Joy Public House, Seal Primary Academy and St Peter's Church, among other places. Also close by are The Academy (under half a mile north-west) and The Academy (less than half a mile north-west). Well-known places in the area include Selsey Lifeboat Museum (0.5 miles south-east).
Shops, offices and hotels in PO20
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Chichester, Selsey and Portfield all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but external sealing in PO20 still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and damp or frosty mornings can hold it up. Coastal places in PO20 often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, so work is often best planned for quieter months.
Selsey: Occupiers with premises at both Selsey Business Centre and Trident Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. On a business park such as Selsey Business Centre (under half a mile south-west of Selsey), sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
Cost factors for sealant joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Doing it in-house
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.
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.
Commercial clients in PO20
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. Where work has disturbed a joint, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email for a quote.
Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. A few splits this year typically mean more next year so the whole run is worth inspecting. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
Why act early?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Once water gets behind the seal, finishes and ceilings underneath are next. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
PO20: questions and answers
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Start with whatever information is to hand. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. We regularly take on multi-site work and planned maintenance programmes, priced site by site or as one programme.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
