Facade sealing for Mid Lavant sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
About our facade sealing in Mid Lavant
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Most enquiries involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and air leaks through failed facade joints, on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Mid Lavant first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Mid Lavant can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Mid Lavant tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Sites and facades in and around Mid Lavant
At about 53 miles from central London, Mid Lavant is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Hunters Lodge Hotel (under half a mile west of Mid Lavant), usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Extensions at sites like Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital (1.7 miles south of Mid Lavant) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors at a college like West Dean College of Arts and Conservation, which lies north of Mid Lavant, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Our process
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, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near Mid Lavant may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photographs, 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 the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
