Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.

Facade sealing in Birdham, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Birdham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Birdham, building work usually 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Birdham as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why act early in Birdham
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Birdham. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Common questions from Birdham clients
Our building in Birdham is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Enborne Business Park, near Birdham, within your area?
Yes, sites like Enborne Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Birdham. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we’ll plan the work with you.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end to the correct depth.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Birdham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

What else we do in Birdham
Sites and facades in and around Birdham
Birdham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Birdham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Enborne Business Park (2.8 miles south-east of Birdham), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. New wings at hospitals like St Richard's Hospital, 4.4 miles to the north-east of Birdham, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. University estates such as University of Chichester, 4.4 miles north-east of Birdham, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Birdham is about 4 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cover Birdham, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Birdham is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list for facade joints. Portsmouth is covered too, around 11 miles from Birdham.
If you need facade sealing in PO20, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Local landmarks in Birdham
Around Birdham, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Birdham Public House and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Fishbourne station, about 3.3 miles north. A little further out are Chichester Castle (4.1 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (4.4 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Pilsey Island.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
