I need to seal my balcony from the outside using scaffolding to reach it. Its a 5th floor seaside balcony

(pvc windows, painted concrete, brick)
and when the storms come off the sea the wind driven rain absolutely lashes the windows and balcony and it gets in and we just can't seal it from inside. I thought that CT1 was the best thing from the job but the property management company said their surveyor in the past had recommended Nitroseal MS60 because it does well long term with the salt air of the sea and doesn't dry out and crack after 5 years as some others do. On the website it doesn't look anything special though and only £3.90 a tube compared to £11 a tube for CT1.
Given that the scaffolding to get out there to do the sealing is thousands, what sealant would be the best thing for the job to :
- seal the rain out
- withstand extremes of weather (south facing heat in the summer up to 36c, windy cold storms in the winter down to -7)
- withstand the salt air and last for many many years (20 would be good) without cracking or leaking.
