About our facade sealing in Adur
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and previous reseals run over old sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Adur it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Adur, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Mastic packages on Adur sites
With the shore within about 2 miles, Adur counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Adur is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Extensions at sites like Southlands Hospital (to the south-east of Adur) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. School extensions, at buildings such as The Sir Robert Woodard Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Adur sits inside our coverage and the rest of West Sussex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, large and small. We also cover Brighton, around 7 miles from Adur.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout BN43 and BN15, whatever the building. If your site is on Steyning Road, Coombes Road and Mill Hill or close by, we can quote for facade joints. We also cover Old Shoreham (1 mile south), Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile south-east), Castle Town (2 miles north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east) and Southwick (3 miles south-east) for facade joints. A short drive away, we cover Horsham (15 miles north), Worthing (5 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (13 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (10 miles north-east), Littlehampton (11 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles west).
Landmarks near Adur
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Sussex Pad pub, among other places. Adur’s nearest station is Shoreham-By-Sea station, roughly 1.5 miles south-east. A little further out are Steyning Museum (2.9 miles north-west) and Old Castle (4.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Adur includes Lancing Ring and Mill Hill.
Common problems we fix in Adur
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Units on estates such as Dolphin Industrial Estate, 2 miles south-east of Adur, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Before you book anyone

- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Adur, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings around smaller places like Adur, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Your questions answered
Our building in Adur is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Southlands Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Yes. We cover Adur, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
