How we handle facade sealing in Lambs Green
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and water coming in around window frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Lambs Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Lambs Green, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Work we carry out in West Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Lambs Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint.
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.
Quoting for work in Lambs Green
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

Questions about Lambs Green
Is a hospital such as Crawley Hospital somewhere you can work?
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 you work at a site such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, by Lambs Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lambs Green, Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Do you need facade sealing in Lambs Green?
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
When units on a site such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Lambs Green) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Facade sealing in Lambs Green: the local picture
Lambs Green lies roughly 27 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Lambs Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors at a school such as Rusper Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a healthcare site such as Crawley Hospital, 2.7 miles east of Lambs Green, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
