How we handle facade sealing in Blackness
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you have failed sealant on precast panel joints and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Blackness tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites around smaller places like Blackness can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
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.

Common questions from Blackness clients
Will you take on work at estates like Langsett Industrial Estate, close to Blackness?
Yes, sites like Langsett Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Blackness. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Is Blackness in your area?
Yes. Blackness falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Quoting for work in Blackness
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What the job involves on each surface
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, not the framing or glazing itself.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Older rural buildings around Blackness move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Blackness can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Advice
Building and refurbishing in Blackness
Blackness sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. A 2-mile radius around Blackness takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
On a campus such as University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus (4.6 miles south of Blackness), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Langsett Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles south-east of Blackness, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a college such as East Sussex College Eastbourne, 2.4 miles south of Blackness, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
