Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Chichester
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Chichester. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cladding panel joints that have opened up and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chichester? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Many towns of Chichester’s size have older buildings being converted or extended, so new windows and cladding meet old masonry. Those junctions need a sealant and primer that suit both surfaces.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
New build and refits around Chichester
At about 54 miles from central London, Chichester is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Chichester. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors at a college like Chichester College, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Chichester, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like City Business Park, 0.6 miles south of Chichester, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Hotels like The Ship Hotel (to the south-east of Chichester) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Chichester is about 27 miles east of Southampton, in West Sussex. Across the PO19 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Chichester is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 13 miles away.
Commercial sites across PO19, PO20, PO18 and PO10 are covered. We cover commercial and managed buildings on St Martin's Square, Market Road and Old Market Avenue. Being close to the A27 and A259, Chichester is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Nearby places we also cover include Portfield (1 mile east), Westhampnett (1 mile north-east), Shopwyke (2 miles east), Maudlin (2 miles north-east) and East Lavant (2 miles north) for facade joints. Further afield, our area takes in Bognor Regis (5 miles south-east), Selsey (7 miles south), Littlehampton (11 miles east), Rustington (12 miles east), Storrington (15 miles east) and Angmering (13 miles east). Chichester ranks among the main centres of West Sussex, with offices, shops, schools and other public and commercial buildings.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints

Quoting for work in Chichester
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
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 your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Most work in Chichester is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. Your photos, drawings or a site visit come first, followed by a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. In Chichester, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Chichester: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as City Business Park, by Chichester?
Yes. Our area takes in Chichester and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as City Business Park included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
