Quoting for work in Brighton
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Brighton
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and new sealant peeling off old mastic, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Brighton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A large place such as Brighton normally has building going on somewhere: housing, schools, healthcare and commercial schemes. For main contractors and developers, the mastic package covers window and door perimeters, facade and cladding joints, and internal sealant where it’s specified.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Brighton as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Sites in a big town such as Brighton frequently have reception sign-in, inductions and permits to work. Tell us about inductions, permits and site hours so the plan fits.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Businesses in Brighton often have several buildings with joints of a similar age. Renewing them in one programme saves time later.
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.

Common questions from Brighton clients
Will you take on work at estates like Centenary Industrial Estate, close to Brighton?
Yes, sites like Centenary Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Brighton. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in Brighton is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Contractors’ notes for Brighton
Brighton is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. At about 46 miles from central London, Brighton is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Building work at universities like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (to the north-east of Brighton) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Part Of The Greenwood Lodge Hotel, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Brighton, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New units and refits on sites such as Centenary Industrial Estate (under half a mile north of Brighton) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Brighton is in Brighton and Hove. Brighton sits inside our coverage and the rest of Brighton and Hove, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 29 places across Brighton and Hove fall within our area, including Brighton.
We take on facade joints across the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode area, whatever the building. Streets here include London Road, Isetta Square and Pelham Square.

Just outside Brighton, we also work in Hanover (1 mile south), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Hollingdean (1 mile north) and Seven Dials (1 mile west). Nearby towns on our patch include Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Portslade (4 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles west), Saltdean (4 miles south-east) and Rottingdean (3 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Brighton
In Brighton, that means premises near Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College, William Clarke Park and Park Crescent pub and the streets around them. Brighton has its own railway station: London Road (Brighton) station. A little further out are Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
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 will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints finished to throw water off the joint.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
