Foreland Fields: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Foreland Fields affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Foreland Fields too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How we handle facade sealing in Foreland Fields
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you are dealing with new sealant peeling off old mastic and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Foreland Fields, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Foreland Fields, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

New build and refits around Foreland Fields
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Foreland Fields. 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. Foreland Fields has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Projects at schools like Bembridge Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Work at a hotel such as Bembridge Coast Hotel (Warners), under half a mile north-east of Foreland Fields, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Hospital estates such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (to the south-west of Foreland Fields) 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.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Why act early in Foreland Fields
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Halls, stores and units around places like Foreland Fields may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
Other services in Foreland Fields
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
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.
