Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Facade sealing in Hastings Old Town, done properly
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. Site teams most often ask us about new sealant peeling off old mastic and water coming in around window frames, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Hastings Old Town, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Hastings Old Town, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Mastic packages on Hastings Old Town sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Hastings Old Town. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The area within 2 miles of Hastings Old Town holds a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
When a school such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Conquest Hospital (to the north-west of Hastings Old Town) 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. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Chatsworth Hotel, 0.7 miles to the west of Hastings Old Town, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hastings Old Town, Ivyhouse Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Conquest Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long does a job like this take?

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hastings Old Town
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. For buildings in places like Hastings Old Town, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a job in Hastings Old Town, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Quotes
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
