Questions about Bighton
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Bighton?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Bighton too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
About our facade sealing in Bighton
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. The enquiries we see most involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Bighton, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Bighton, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Bighton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- 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.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Why act early in Bighton
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Converted and older buildings near places like Bighton tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Bighton
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What we’re called out for in Bighton
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House (to the south of Bighton) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Building and refurbishing in Bighton
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Bighton. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Rainfall across the South East, Bighton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a school such as Perins School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New units and refits on sites such as Barton Industrial Estate (2.5 miles north-east of Bighton) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
