Facade sealing across Brighton and Hove
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Facade sealing in Brighton and Hove
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we will fit the work around it. Most enquiries involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and new sealant peeling off old mastic, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Brighton and Hove, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Developers and contractors working in Brighton and Hove want mastic that keeps pace with the build: sealing as scaffold comes down or as each floor is decorated, and snagging before handover. Tell us the programme and we’ll quote to it.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

What else we do in Brighton and Hove
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If you have more than one building in Brighton and Hove, they can often be done on the same visit, with one quote covering them. Give us your access times and we will fit the work in.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Brighton and Hove
Our building in Brighton and Hove 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 Portland Road Trading Estate, near Brighton and Hove, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Brighton and Hove, Portland Road Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Mastic packages on Brighton and Hove sites
With the shore within about 1 mile, Brighton and Hove counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Brighton and Hove lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For contractors at a college like Waterbear College Brighton, 2.2 miles to the east of Brighton and Hove, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. On a healthcare site such as Nevill Hospital, less than half a mile north-west of Brighton and Hove, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (3.1 miles east of Brighton and Hove), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
