Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
Facade sealing in East Chiltington, done properly
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. A single leaking joint is often how a building in East Chiltington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as East Chiltington bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

When to call us in East Chiltington
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
New wings at hospitals like Lewes Victoria Hospital (3.7 miles south-east of East Chiltington) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near East Chiltington may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Questions we’re asked in East Chiltington
Is a smaller place like East Chiltington outside your area?
Not at all. East Chiltington 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.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Sussex?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.

What else we do in East Chiltington
Sites and facades in and around East Chiltington
Rainfall across the South East, East Chiltington included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. East Chiltington lies roughly 40 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
On a campus such as University of Sussex, which lies north of East Chiltington, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. Projects at colleges like Plumpton College, 1.4 miles south-west of East Chiltington, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
