Why deal with it now?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. For buildings around smaller places like Horsemere Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

How we handle facade sealing in Horsemere Green
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Horsemere Green? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Horsemere Green, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

New build and refits around Horsemere Green
Horsemere Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Horsemere Green has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Arundel and District Hospital, 3.1 miles north of Horsemere Green, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Rudford Industrial Estate, under half a mile north of Horsemere Green, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
FAQs: Horsemere Green
Would you work within a site like Arundel and District 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 being near the sea in Horsemere Green affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Horsemere Green
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 movement soon pulls it away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Building work at universities like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), 3.8 miles south-west of Horsemere Green, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Smaller jobs around Horsemere Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
