Facade sealing near Findon
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
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.
How we handle facade sealing in Findon
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Findon. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Findon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Findon is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Building and refurbishing in Findon
Findon sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. The area within 2 miles of Findon holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When a school such as St John the Baptist CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hotels like Findon Manor Hotel, less than half a mile to the west of Findon, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Findon is about 3 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Anywhere in BN14, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit.

- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.

Common questions from Findon clients
Is Findon too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Findon is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Worthing College for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
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 and we follow the specified product.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
Do you need facade sealing in Findon?
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Projects at colleges like Worthing College, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Findon, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Proof of insurance
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
