About our facade sealing in Hove
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, and we will fit the work around it. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames after rain and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hove tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Many towns of Hove’s size have older buildings being converted or extended, which puts new frames and panels against old brick, stone or render. Those junctions need a sealant and primer that suit both surfaces.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Hove
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How accessible the joints are
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
FAQs: Hove
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Our building in Hove is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How long do sealant joints last?
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you work in Hove?
Yes. We take on work across Hove, with one number for every area we cover.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Hove are worth mentioning when you send details. On estates and business parks it’s normally simpler.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Mastic packages on Hove sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Hove. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. A 2-mile radius around Hove takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as OYO Albany Hotel, under half a mile to the south-east of Hove, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Extensions at sites like The Montefiore Hospital (0.7 miles east of Hove) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When units on a site such as Goldstone Retail Park (0.5 miles north of Hove) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Hove is about 2 miles west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Any commercial site in Hove is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Hove is one of 29 places in Brighton and Hove on our list.
