Facade sealing in High Cross, done properly
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 water coming in around window frames and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in High Cross tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near High Cross, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

High Cross: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like High Cross outside your area?
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.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Dene Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Commercial clients in High Cross
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near High Cross need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

Quoting for work in High Cross
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Mastic packages on High Cross sites
Rainfall across the South East, High Cross included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. High Cross lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
New wings at hospitals like The Dene Hospital (2.9 miles north-east of High Cross) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a school such as Albourne CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
High Cross is about 4 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in High Cross is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places, large and small. We also cover Brighton, some 9 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in BN6 are within our area. We also cover Albourne (1 mile south-east), Albourne Green (1 mile south-east), Albourne Street (1 mile south-east), Blackstone (1 mile south-west) and Twineham (2 miles north). A short drive away, we cover Crawley (12 miles north), Horsham (10 miles north-west), Worthing (11 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (8 miles south).
Local landmarks in High Cross
The nearest railway station is Hassocks station, about 3.4 miles east. Nearby you will also find The Dene Hospital (2.9 miles north-east) and Clayton Castle (3.9 miles south-east). Not far away are Wolstonbury Hill and Woods Mill.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What we are called out for in High Cross
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, then it splits or peels.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Units on estates such as Valley Farm Business Park, 0.7 miles north-east of High Cross, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
