About our facade sealing in Burlow
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. The enquiries we see most involve patch repairs that keep failing and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, across cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Burlow is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Burlow, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Burlow may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Share access with other external trades
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Facade sealing in Burlow: the local picture
Burlow is about 42 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Burlow, such as Horselunges Manor, 2.8 miles to the south of Burlow, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. On a healthcare site such as Hellingly Hospital Railway, which lies south-east of Burlow, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When units on a site such as Merrydown Business Park (0.5 miles north-east of Burlow) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Burlow is about 4 miles north of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Anywhere in TN21, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across East Sussex, 308 places are covered, including Burlow. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area, about 17 miles away.

Sending details for a quote

Questions about Burlow
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hellingly Hospital Railway?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Burlow too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Burlow is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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 will ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Older rural buildings around Burlow move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
