Facade sealing for businesses in Bevendean
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
About our facade sealing in Bevendean
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have failed sealant on precast panel joints and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Bevendean start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places like Bevendean, 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, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Contractors’ notes for Bevendean
Bevendean sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Bevendean lies roughly 45 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton, which lies west of Bevendean, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Work at a hotel such as Downs Hotel (to the east of Bevendean) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Bevendean is about 1 mile north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Anywhere in BN2, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Brighton and Hove, 29 places are covered, Bevendean among them.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Bevendean. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Providing access systems for the work
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a site in Bevendean, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Signs you need facade sealing in Bevendean
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically 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.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Water coming in around window frames
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like The Hyde Business Park (under half a mile south of Bevendean) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Questions about Bevendean
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Brighton?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a hospital such as Brighton General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
