Facade sealing in Funtington
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
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.
How we handle facade sealing in Funtington
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cladding panel joints that have opened up and staining on stone next to old sealant. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Funtington? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites around smaller places like Funtington can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Signs you need facade sealing in Funtington
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 usually lead to an enquiry:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
Projects at schools like Funtington Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Funtington, such as Hambrook Business Park?
Yes, sites like Hambrook Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Funtington. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Chichester for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you work in Funtington?
Yes. Funtington is in our area. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Funtington can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What affects the price in Funtington
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
