Building and refurbishing in Earnley
Earnley sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. At about 60 miles from central London, Earnley is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
New units and refits on sites such as Enborne Business Park, 2.5 miles to the east of Earnley, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Earnley is about 3 miles north-west of Selsey, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO20, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. Our Portsmouth page has more on work in that area (11 miles or so).
Work on facade joints is covered throughout PO20, whatever the building. If your site is on Earnley Manor Close, Bookers Lane and Drove Lane or close by, we can quote for facade joints. Just outside Earnley, we also work in East Wittering (1 mile west), Almodington (1 mile north-east), Somerley (1 mile north), Shipton Green (2 miles north) and Birdham (2 miles north). Further afield, our area takes in Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (6 miles north-east), Selsey (3 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Rustington (15 miles east) and Portfield (6 miles north-east).

Facade sealing in Earnley, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we’ll fit the work around it. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. For commercial sealant work in Earnley, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In the countryside around places like Earnley, 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 usually what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs in and around smaller places like Earnley are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Get a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
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 quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Common questions from Earnley clients
Can you work at a site such as Enborne Business Park, by Earnley?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Earnley, Enborne Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in Earnley is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Common problems we fix in Earnley
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Look out for the following:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
For contractors at a school such as East Wittering Community Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
