What happens if it’s left?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Cote tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

About our facade sealing in Cote
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you are dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Cote, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Cote is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Contractors’ notes for Cote
With the shore within about 3 miles, Cote counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Cote is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
For contractors at a school such as Durrington Junior School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For contractors at a college like Worthing College (1.7 miles east of Cote), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Older buildings in the area around Cote, such as Ecclesden Manor, 2.5 miles south-west of Cote, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Cote is about 2 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Cote, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 373 places in West Sussex, large and small. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 13 miles away.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Worthing College fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cote, such as Gosling Croft Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Cote and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gosling Croft Business Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
