Common problems we fix in Aldrington
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
For a contractor at a hotel such as Princes Marine Hotel, which lies south-east of Aldrington, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Facade sealing in Aldrington, done properly
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you’re dealing with unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Aldrington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around places like Aldrington, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Aldrington
Facades, frames and programmes in Aldrington
With the shore within about 1 mile, Aldrington counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Aldrington. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
University estates such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, 3.4 miles east of Aldrington, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Nevill Hospital, 0.7 miles to the north of Aldrington, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
FAQs: Aldrington
Can you work at a site such as Portland Road Trading Estate, by Aldrington?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Aldrington, Portland Road Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Aldrington off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
