Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Small buildings around Carlton Hill suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

How we handle facade sealing in Carlton Hill
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have damp patches beside frames after rain and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can put it right, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Carlton Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Carlton Hill, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Brighton and Hove. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
New build and refits around Carlton Hill
Carlton Hill sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Carlton Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Maon Hotel, which lies south-east of Carlton Hill, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. University estates such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (1.6 miles north of Carlton Hill) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Carlton Hill is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We send applicators to Carlton Hill for facade joints. Our Brighton and Hove coverage takes in 29 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Work in places the size of Carlton Hill is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Carlton Hill: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Freshfield Industrial Estate, close to Carlton Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Carlton Hill, Freshfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What we’re called out for in Carlton Hill
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Royal Sussex County Hospital, 0.6 miles south-east of Carlton Hill, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
