Why it’s worth doing now in Burstow
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. For buildings around smaller places like Burstow, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why clients in Burstow choose us

Facade sealing in Burstow, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Burstow first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Burstow is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Facade sealing in Burstow: the local picture
The area within 2 miles of Burstow holds a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Central London is about 24 miles from Burstow. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
New wings at hospitals like Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private), 2.4 miles west of Burstow, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Oakwood School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor at a hotel such as Marriott Courtyard Hotel, 0.9 miles to the west of Burstow, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Questions we are asked in Burstow
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private), something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Burstow off your patch?
Not at all. Burstow 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.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- 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 and tell your cleaning contractor.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building around Burstow, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
