Facade sealing in Findon Valley
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and leaks at window and door perimeters, across shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters.

Around places like Findon Valley, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Why act early in Findon Valley
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Facade sealing around Findon Valley: what changes locally
Findon Valley is about 47 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Findon Valley has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Further education sites such as Worthing College (1.4 miles south-east of Findon Valley) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For contractors at a school such as Vale School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hotels like Findon Manor Hotel, 1.1 miles to the north of Findon Valley, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Specialist high-level access methods
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
FAQs: Findon Valley
Would you work within a site like Worthing Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Worthing College for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, 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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
