How we handle facade sealing in Crawley
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you have failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Crawley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Crawley 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

FAQs: Crawley
Is a smaller place like Crawley outside your area?
No. Places such as Crawley are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Crawley, such as Beeches Industrial Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Crawley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Beeches Industrial Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What happens if it’s left?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. For buildings around smaller places like Crawley, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If others near Crawley need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
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.
Facade sealing around Crawley: points for this area
Crawley lies roughly 62 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Crawley is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a campus such as University of Winchester, 4.6 miles to the south-east of Crawley, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. When a college such as Sparsholt College Hampshire (1.6 miles south of Crawley) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. New units and refits on sites such as Beeches Industrial Park, 1 mile to the south-east of Crawley, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Crawley is about 5 miles north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Crawley
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
