The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Facade sealing in Borden
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Borden. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is new sealant peeling off old mastic and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Borden, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Borden can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Borden, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will 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.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in, tooled to shed water.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Questions we are asked in Borden
Is Borden too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Borden?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
New build and refits around Borden
Borden is about 46 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Borden sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a healthcare site such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 4.1 miles to the south-east of Borden, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Borden is about 5 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Borden for work on facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 373 places in West Sussex. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, roughly 18 miles from Borden.

Do you need facade sealing in Borden?
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.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Historic houses such as Cowdray House (4.4 miles south-east of Borden) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
