About our facade sealing in Broadwater
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and failed sealant on precast 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 Broadwater, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around places like Broadwater, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Why it’s worth doing now in Broadwater
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. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Contractors’ notes for Broadwater
Broadwater sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. 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. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Broadwater. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Further education sites such as Northbrook College, less than half a mile to the south of Broadwater, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Downlands Business Park (0.7 miles north-east of Broadwater), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Broadwater is about 1 mile east of Worthing, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Broadwater is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme.

Do you need facade sealing in Broadwater?
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Extensions at sites like Worthing Hospital, 0.9 miles to the south-east of Broadwater, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Your questions answered
Is Downlands Business Park, near Broadwater, within your area?
Yes. We cover Broadwater and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Downlands Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Our building in Broadwater is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Several jobs near Broadwater can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
