How we handle facade sealing in Hollingdean
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Searching for sealant specialists in Hollingdean? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Building work in places the size of Hollingdean is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

When to call us in Hollingdean
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Water coming in around window frames
Projects at colleges like Downs View Link College (to the north-west of Hollingdean) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

What else we do in Hollingdean
Hollingdean: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Pavilion Retail Park, close to Hollingdean?
Yes, sites like Pavilion Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Hollingdean. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Hollingdean too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hollingdean are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we will price the work around it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Facades, frames and programmes in Hollingdean
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Hollingdean. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Hollingdean has a good 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.
University estates such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (0.5 miles east of Hollingdean) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Extensions at sites like Brighton General Hospital (1.2 miles south-east of Hollingdean) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours

Why act early in Hollingdean
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In a smaller place such as Hollingdean, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
