Facade sealing in Fontwell: the local picture
Fontwell lies roughly 51 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. A 2-mile radius around Fontwell takes in a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
When units on a site such as Tokar Industrial Park, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Fontwell, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hotels like Avisford Park Hotel, 1.5 miles east of Fontwell, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Hospital estates such as Arundel and District Hospital, 3.7 miles east of Fontwell, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

How we handle facade sealing in Fontwell
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you are dealing with facade joints cracked through the middle and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can help, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Fontwell tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites around smaller places like Fontwell can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What affects the price in Fontwell
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
FAQs: Fontwell
Is Fontwell too far out for you?
Not at all. Fontwell is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Chichester?
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
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.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Fontwell, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
