Facade sealing in Chilgrove, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cladding panel joints that have opened up and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Chilgrove first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Chilgrove is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Chilgrove can form part of a wider programme across West Sussex.
What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Around Chilgrove, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Chilgrove may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Contractors’ notes for Chilgrove
Rainfall across the South East, Chilgrove included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 51 miles from central London, Chilgrove 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.
Historic houses such as West Dean House, 1.6 miles south-east of Chilgrove, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For contractors at a college like West Dean College of Arts and Conservation, which lies south-east of Chilgrove, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. New wings at hospitals like Chichester Centre (5.2 miles south of Chilgrove) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Chilgrove is about 6 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. We send applicators to Chilgrove for facade joints. Chilgrove is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex for facade joints. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Questions we are asked in Chilgrove
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as West Dean College of Arts and Conservation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
