About our facade sealing in Cootham
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant peeling off old mastic and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Cootham it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Cootham, 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 normally what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Cootham, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Facade sealing in Cootham: the local picture
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Cootham. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Cootham 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 a contractor at a hotel such as OYO White Horse Hotel, 0.7 miles to the east of Cootham, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. New units and refits on sites such as Quell Farm Industrial Estate (to the west of Cootham) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. With historic properties like Parham House, 1.1 miles west of Cootham, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Cootham is about 7 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Anywhere in RH20, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Cootham is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list. There’s a separate page for Brighton, roughly 16 miles from Cootham.

What affects the price in Cootham
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Cootham: questions and answers
Is Cootham off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Cootham?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Cootham
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Cootham. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Share access with other external trades
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
