Questions about Bewbush
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Crawley Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, near Bewbush?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Bewbush, Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What hours do you work?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Bewbush
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is cold air coming in at window perimeters and damp patches beside frames after rain. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Bewbush it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
On a small site around Bewbush, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
What affects the price in Bewbush
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Bewbush, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters

Facades, frames and programmes in Bewbush
Bewbush sits in or beside Crawley, a twentieth-century planned town. Buildings from that era are frequently being refurbished, with new windows and panels set into older structures. The area within 2 miles of Bewbush holds plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Projects at schools like The Bewbush Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor at a hotel such as Crawley Hotel (1.2 miles north-east of Bewbush), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Hospital estates such as Crawley Hospital, 1.3 miles north-east of Bewbush, 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.
Bewbush is about 1 mile west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH11, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Bewbush is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex for facade joints. Brighton is covered too, around 19 miles from Bewbush.

Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.

What else we do in Bewbush
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
