- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Five Ash Down
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Older rural buildings around Five Ash Down move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

When to call us in Five Ash Down
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Projects at schools like Buxted CofE Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Questions about Five Ash Down
Can you work on a hospital site such as Uckfield Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Ashdown Business Park, near Five Ash Down?
Yes. Our area takes in Five Ash Down and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ashdown Business Park included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
