Facade sealing around Lower Willingdon: what changes locally

Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.

When to call us in Lower Willingdon
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Chaucer Industrial Estate (1.1 miles north-east of Lower Willingdon) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Willingdon
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Work in places the size of Lower Willingdon is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send your site hours and access windows

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
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.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
