Facade sealing in Brighton and Hove: how it works
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. Site teams most often ask us about facade joints cracked through the middle and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints.
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.
- 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.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Pricing in Brighton and Hove
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Facade sealing across Brighton and Hove: the area picture
From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to smaller places across Brighton and Hove, main contractors and developers need mastic packages for new build and refurbishment. We seal perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification, on programme.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and Brighton and Hove is part of the area we cover. On the coastal side of Brighton and Hove, sea-facing elevations normally show failed joints first.
Brighton: When a college such as Waterbear College Brighton (to the south-west of Brighton) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (0.9 miles north-east of Brighton), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Quoting for work in Brighton and Hove
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Brighton and Hove
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Brighton and Hove. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
FAQs: Brighton and Hove
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will you just go over the old 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.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
