Facade sealing in Lidsey, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you are dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lidsey first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Lidsey can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: 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, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Lidsey, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What else we do in Lidsey
Why it’s worth doing now in Lidsey
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Converted and older buildings near places like Lidsey tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Questions about Lidsey
Does a coastal location like Lidsey affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a hospital such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Commercial clients in Lidsey
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Lidsey can form part of a wider programme across West Sussex.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Facade sealing in Lidsey: the local picture
With the shore within about 3 miles, Lidsey counts as a coastal location. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Lidsey 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.
Projects at schools like Aldingbourne Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hospital estates such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, 1.9 miles to the south of Lidsey, 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. On a campus such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), which lies south of Lidsey, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year.
Lidsey is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Commercial clients in Lidsey can call on us for facade joints, as part of our coverage of West Sussex. Lidsey is one of 373 places in West Sussex on our list for facade joints. For work in that direction, see our Portsmouth page.
