Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Milton Street
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and previous reseals run over old sealant, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Milton Street it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Milton Street bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Contractors’ notes for Milton Street
At about 49 miles from central London, Milton Street is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. A 2-mile radius around Milton Street takes in several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
On a campus such as University of Brighton, 4.9 miles to the west of Milton Street, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. Extensions at sites like Eastbourne District General Hospital (to the south-east of Milton Street) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Milton Street is about 4 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Milton Street for work on facade joints. Milton Street is one of 308 places we cover in East Sussex. We also cover Brighton, around 13 miles from Milton Street.

Local landmarks in Milton Street

Why it’s worth doing now in Milton Street
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Older rural buildings around Milton Street move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Signs you need facade sealing in Milton Street
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
When a school such as Alfriston School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Milton Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Questions we are asked in Milton Street
Does your area include sites such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park, near Milton Street?
Yes. We cover Milton Street and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Berwick Court Farm Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can work at a site such as University of Brighton fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
