Facade sealing in Kemptown
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
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 suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Facade sealing in Kemptown, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. Site teams most often ask us about sealant pulling away from frames or panels and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, across cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames.

FAQs: Kemptown
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Bell Tower Industrial Estate, close to Kemptown?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kemptown, Bell Tower Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you cover Kemptown?
Yes. Sites across Kemptown are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a job in Kemptown, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kemptown
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 in places like Kemptown, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Facade sealing around Kemptown: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Kemptown. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Kemptown. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
On a healthcare site such as Eye Hospital (under half a mile north-west of Kemptown), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Building work at universities like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (to the north of Kemptown) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Common problems we fix in Kemptown
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Bell Tower Industrial Estate, less than half a mile east of Kemptown, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
