How we handle facade sealing in Broad Street
Managing agents and owners in Broad Street ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Broad Street? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Broad Street bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in East Sussex. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Converted and older buildings near places like Broad Street tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Broad Street
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If others near Broad Street need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- 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.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Common questions from Broad Street clients
Is Broad Street too far out for you?
No. Places such as Broad Street are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Broad Street affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Facades, frames and programmes in Broad Street
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Broad Street. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Broad Street is about 51 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When a school such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Conquest Hospital (4.3 miles south-west of Broad Street) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Older buildings in the area around Broad Street, such as Lamb House (4.1 miles north-east of Broad Street), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
