About our facade sealing in Coldwaltham
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Coldwaltham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Coldwaltham, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

New build and refits around Coldwaltham
Coldwaltham lies roughly 43 miles out 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. Coldwaltham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Quell Farm Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Coldwaltham, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. On a healthcare site such as Arundel and District Hospital (5.9 miles south of Coldwaltham), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Coldwaltham is about 9 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Coldwaltham is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Coldwaltham is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list. Sites around Brighton have their own page, roughly 19 miles from Coldwaltham.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

- Cladding panel joints
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Coldwaltham can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
When to call us in Coldwaltham
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
For contractors at a school such as St James' CofE Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Questions about Coldwaltham
Is Quell Farm Industrial Estate, near Coldwaltham, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Coldwaltham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Quell Farm Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Arundel and District Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Why act early in Coldwaltham
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Halls, stores and units around places like Coldwaltham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
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.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
