How we handle facade sealing in Apuldram
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Apuldram? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Apuldram, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Apuldram as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as University of Chichester fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Terminus Industrial Estate, by Apuldram?
Yes, sites like Terminus Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Apuldram. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

What else we do in Apuldram
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
When to bring in a 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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Apuldram are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree 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.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Apuldram
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Converted and older buildings near places like Apuldram tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

Facade sealing around Apuldram: points for this area
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Apuldram. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Projects at colleges like Chichester College, 1.1 miles north-east of Apuldram, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. When units on a site such as Terminus Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Apuldram, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Signs you need facade sealing in Apuldram
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
On a campus such as University of Chichester (2.1 miles north-east of Apuldram), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year.
Questions to ask before you book
