What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Work on the window or framing system itself

Facade sealing in Horley
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and failed sealant on precast panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Horley from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Older town-centre buildings in places like Horley are often converted to new uses or extended, which puts new frames and panels against old brick, stone or render. Getting the product and primer right for both faces is what keeps those joints sound.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Building and refurbishing in Horley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 22 miles from central London, Horley is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Extensions at sites like Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private), 1 mile to the south-west of Horley, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For a contractor at a hotel such as Days Hotel, 0.6 miles north-east of Horley, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
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.
Why act early in Horley
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private)?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Gatwick Business Park, by Horley?
Yes. Our area takes in Horley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gatwick Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What we are called out for in Horley
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Look out for the following:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Projects at schools like Horley Infant School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
