Facades, frames and programmes in Lickfold
Lickfold lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Lickfold sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Units on estates such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Lickfold) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like Midhurst Community Hospital, 3.2 miles to the south-west of Lickfold, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

About our facade sealing in Lickfold
Managing agents and owners in Lickfold 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. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lickfold tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Lickfold, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Why act early in Lickfold
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Converted and older buildings near places like Lickfold tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Lickfold: questions and answers
Is Hurstfold Industrial Estate, near Lickfold, within your area?
Yes. We cover Lickfold and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hurstfold Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is Lickfold in your area?
Yes. We cover Lickfold, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
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.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Signs you need facade sealing in Lickfold
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
With historic properties like Cowdray House (3.4 miles south-west of Lickfold) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Lickfold, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
