Facade sealing in Broadfield
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. Most enquiries involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and patch repairs that keep failing, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Broadfield, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In a smaller place such as Broadfield, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. 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.
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.
Questions we are asked in Broadfield
Would you work within a site like Crawley Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Crawley College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Facades, frames and programmes in Broadfield
Broadfield is part of, or right next to, Crawley, which was built as a planned town. Many of its original buildings are reaching the age for recladding and new windows, with mastic packages to match. Broadfield has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Further education sites such as Crawley College (to the north-east of Broadfield) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For a contractor at a hotel such as Grange Hotel, which lies north-east of Broadfield, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Projects at schools like Seymour Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Broadfield is about 1 mile south-west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH11, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Broadfield is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list for facade joints. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 18 miles away.

Quoting for work in Broadfield
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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 quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colour agreed before work starts

What the job involves on each surface
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, and primers go on where specified.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Several jobs near Broadfield can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- 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.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
