Facade sealing in Ferring

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How we handle facade sealing in Ferring
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. The enquiries we see most involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and staining on stone next to old sealant, across stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Ferring? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
On a small site around Ferring, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What else we do in Ferring
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically 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. Work in places the size of Ferring is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- 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.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Ferring outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can being near the sea in Ferring affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Signs you need facade sealing in Ferring
Product choice matters: 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.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
For contractors at a school such as Ferring CofE Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Commercial clients in Ferring
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ferring
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In a smaller place such as Ferring, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why clients in Ferring choose us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- One number for every site we cover

Facade sealing around Ferring: what changes locally
Ferring is within about 1 mile of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Ferring has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Work at a hotel such as The Seaview Hotel (to the west of Ferring) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Older buildings in the area around Ferring, such as Ecclesden Manor, 1.6 miles north-west of Ferring, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
