Solve Your Sealing Problems

Seals Direct was established in 1998 after identifying a gap in the market for reliable rubber seals that could be purchased by the metre. Prior to this point, there was a widespread issue with a lack of rubber products that could be purchased in small quantities. Seals Direct looked to enter this market with a range of sealing solutions that could be purchased in short lengths for one off repairs or large quantities for larger or regular projects. The majority of our seals and trims are available from our comprehensive range of standard stocks of over 760 different products.

Seals Direct is ISO 9001:2015 certified through the UKAS accredited British Standards Institution (BSI) certification body.

Between our team we have over 50 years’ experience in the rubber industry. We have become one of the UK’s leading suppliers of rubber seals and trims to the marine, industrial, caravan, automotive and film industries and service both the trade and public. Since our inception, we have seen remarkable growth due to our excellent service and reputation. We now occupy two industrial units in New Milton to cater for our increasing product range and desire to dispatch all orders within a timely manner. We are located on main transport links between Bournemouth and Southampton on the south coast of England and are able to ship worldwide.

 If your requirements cannot be met by one of our standard sections, our in-house design team are able to design and develop bespoke sealing solutions. This starts by using our 3D CAD facilities to design a custom solution and then, if required, printing a prototype of the profile using our 3D printers and a flexible rubber compound.  This eliminates the need for tooling and minimum production runs until the design has been tested and approved. We are also able to reverse engineer existing sections that are no longer available. These can be extruded in a range of rubber and silicone materials in small production runs from as little as 30 metres. We work very closely with various extruders so that we can offer virtually any material, hardness and quantity.

We pride ourselves on offering a fast and efficient service and aim to respond to any enquiry or orders within a timely manner. Our flexible approach to the needs of our customers is the key to our success.

Should your sealing requirements not be met by a standard section, we can manufacture a custom seal to your requirements, technical drawing or sample. Our long-standing reputation in rubber manufacturing has given us an excellent understanding of what is required to produce long lasting and reliable sealing solutions. We are able to offer a custom design service where we use our 3D CAD facilities to work with you and other design engineers on bespoke solutions or reversed engineered replicas of existing products. This can be useful when the original manufacturer has either gone out of business or is unknown.

Our ability to work alongside our clients developing tailored, cost effective solutions has made us a leading name in custom rubber seal manufacturing. We are able to extrude these rubber seals in a variety of materials such as EPDM, PVC, Nitrile, Neoprene and Silicone in various colours, hardnesses and densities. We are able to produce small quantities or large production runs, with low-cost tooling and quick delivery times. Minimum production runs can be as low as 30 metres, depending on the material and construction of the required profile.

Rubber mouldings can be produced by either compression or injection moulding. We are able to mould rubber seals in a variety of materials such as EPDM, PVC, Nitrile, Neoprene and Silicone in various hardnesses.
