Common questions from Folkington clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Folkington can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Folkington, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead and the defect reappears in the defects period. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Older rural buildings around Folkington move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Building and refurbishing in Folkington
Folkington is about 49 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Folkington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
University estates such as University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus (to the south-east of Folkington) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Crossways Hotel (1 mile north-west of Folkington), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Folkington is about 4 miles north-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Across the BN26 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in East Sussex, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page (15 miles or so).

What we’re called out for in Folkington
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
New units and refits on sites such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park (2.2 miles west of Folkington) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Use the product the specification names
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team before sealing starts.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
