What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints

- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Cowfold
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Cowfold from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Cowfold, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Do you need facade sealing in Cowfold?
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Water coming in around window frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
When a school such as St Peter's CofE (Aided) Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Cowfold: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Brook Farm Business Park, by Cowfold?
Yes. We cover Cowfold and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Brook Farm Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Cowfold outside your area?
Not at all. Cowfold is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, 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.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Mastic packages on Cowfold sites
Central London is about 36 miles from Cowfold. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Cowfold included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Brook Farm Business Park (0.5 miles north of Cowfold) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like The Dene Hospital (4.9 miles east of Cowfold) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
