How commercial sealant contractors works in RH20
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, since managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). The enquiries we see most involve frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down, across washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters.
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.

What’s near Storrington
Recent enquiries here include premises near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Parham Park and The Moon pub, among other places. Also close by are Rydon Community College (0.6 miles east) and Storrington Primary School (under half a mile west). The nearest railway station is Pulborough station, about 3.9 miles north-west. A little further out are The Storrington And District Museum (less than half a mile south) and Amberley Castle (4.1 miles west). The countryside around Storrington includes Chanctonbury Hill and Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve.
Shops, offices and hotels in RH20
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Horsham, Storrington and West Chiltington Common 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, though outside work in RH20 still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.
Storrington: For a hotel such as OYO White Horse Hotel (less than half a mile south-west of Storrington), the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Shops and cafés around stations like Pulborough station (to the north-west of Storrington) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What we’re called out for in RH20
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. New silicone has nothing to key into. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- On pre-2000 buildings, share the asbestos information before work starts
Brief your cleaning team on the joints that have been resealed. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life.
A failed external joint lets water in every time it rains. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting off a reseal normally moves the cost rather than avoiding it. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small.

Questions about RH20
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.
Do you cover RH20?
Yes. Sites across RH20 are covered.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, across South East England, Greater London and all of Scotland. One contact and one process for every building makes a portfolio easier to manage.
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.
