About our facade sealing in Broadbridge
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and damp patches beside frames after rain. Whoever orders the work in Broadbridge, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Broadbridge bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Smaller jobs around Broadbridge can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- 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

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
When to call us in Broadbridge
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, 2.9 miles east of Broadbridge, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Broadbridge Business Centre, near Broadbridge?
Yes. We cover Broadbridge and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Broadbridge Business Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

Contractors’ notes for Broadbridge
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Broadbridge. 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. Broadbridge is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
When a college such as Chichester College (2.5 miles east of Broadbridge) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Building work at universities like University of Chichester, 3.2 miles east of Broadbridge, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. You can also send details through our quote form.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Broadbridge. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
