Facade sealing around Ifieldwood: how the place shapes the job
A 2-mile radius around Ifieldwood takes in a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Ifieldwood sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Hospital estates such as Crawley Hospital, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Ifieldwood, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. When a school such as The Mill Primary Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Facade sealing in Ifieldwood
Managing agents and owners in Ifieldwood ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and damp patches beside frames after rain, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Ifieldwood, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Ifieldwood, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. 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
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
Common problems we fix in Ifieldwood
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Water coming in around window frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Projects at colleges like Crawley College, 2.4 miles east of Ifieldwood, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Around Ifieldwood, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common questions from Ifieldwood clients
Is Ifieldwood off your patch?
Not at all. Ifieldwood is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Crawley Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. If others near Ifieldwood need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
