When to call us in Ashton Green
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Hospital estates such as Lewes Victoria Hospital (to the west of Ashton Green) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

About our facade sealing in Ashton Green
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals run over old sealant and damp patches beside frames after rain.

Construction in and around smaller places such as Ashton Green is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why act early in Ashton Green
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Halls, stores and units around places like Ashton Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Rural sites near Ashton Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached

After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Share access with other external trades
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Facades, frames and programmes in Ashton Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Ashton Green is about 43 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a school such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New units and refits on sites such as Caburn Enterprise Park (0.6 miles north of Ashton Green) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
