About our facade sealing in Eastbourne
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Most enquiries involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and draughts around frames and panels, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames. Most enquiries from Eastbourne start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Business parks and retail centres around large towns like Eastbourne are refurbished and reclad as tenants change. Each job leaves facade and perimeter joints that need the right sealant, backing rod and depth.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Town-centre jobs in Eastbourne can mean limited parking and loading, whereas edge-of-town units normally have yard space. Either way, tell us what’s available.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. A leaking joint in a commercial building in Eastbourne can damage stock, ceilings and finishes, and putting that right normally costs more than the reseal. It pays to act early.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Facade sealing in Eastbourne: the local picture
Eastbourne lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Eastbourne. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When units on a site such as Hammond Industrial Estate (0.5 miles east of Eastbourne) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a healthcare site such as Eastbourne District General Hospital, 0.8 miles to the west of Eastbourne, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Building work at universities like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus (2.3 miles south-west of Eastbourne) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
