Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Iford
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you’re dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Iford from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In the countryside around places like Iford, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Iford are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Questions about Iford
Can work at a site such as University of Brighton - Falmer campus fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Lewes Victoria 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Commercial clients in Iford
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Why act early in Iford
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Older rural buildings around Iford move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in, tooled to shed water.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.

New build and refits around Iford
Iford is about 45 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Iford. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors on a campus like University of Brighton - Falmer campus (3.4 miles west of Iford), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. School extensions, at buildings such as Iford and Kingston Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Cliffe Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the north-east of Iford, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Iford is about 2 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. Any commercial site in Iford is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 308 places in East Sussex, large and small.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
