Facade sealing in Broadland Row
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cladding panel joints that have opened up and damp patches beside frames after rain. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broadland Row from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Broadland Row, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What affects the price in Broadland Row
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Contractors’ notes for Broadland Row
Broadland Row is about 50 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Broadland Row included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Conquest Hospital, which lies south-west of Broadland Row, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Older buildings in the area around Broadland Row, such as Great Dixter, which lies north-west of Broadland Row, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Broadland Row is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Commercial clients in Broadland Row use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of East Sussex.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Share access with other external trades
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Around Broadland Row, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Why appoint us
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Broadland Row outside your area?
Not at all. Broadland Row is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Conquest Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
