How we handle facade sealing in Doleham
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. If you’re dealing with weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Doleham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Doleham bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If others near Doleham need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Questions about Doleham
Is Wheel Farm Business Park, near Doleham, within your area?
Yes, sites like Wheel Farm Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Doleham. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Doleham outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
When to bring in a 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, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Doleham
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Conquest Hospital (2.9 miles south-west of Doleham), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Building and refurbishing in Doleham
Doleham 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, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Doleham is about 50 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
When units on a site such as Wheel Farm Business Park (to the west of Doleham) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (to the north-west of Doleham) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Doleham is about 4 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Doleham use us for work on facade joints. Doleham is one of 308 places in East Sussex on our list. Brighton is covered too, around 33 miles from Doleham.
