Facade sealing in Hankham
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you’re dealing with unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hankham? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sites around smaller places like Hankham can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
What we are called out for in Hankham
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
Extensions at sites like Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.9 miles south-west of Hankham) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Hankham, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows

Building and refurbishing in Hankham
With the shore within about 3 miles, Hankham counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Hankham lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a college like East Sussex College Eastbourne, which lies south-west of Hankham, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Langsett Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Hankham) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, 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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
