How we handle facade sealing in Mount Pleasant
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have new sealant peeling off old mastic and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Mount Pleasant from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Mount Pleasant 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually 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 a building around Mount Pleasant, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Common questions from Mount Pleasant clients
Does your area include sites such as Diplocks industrial estate, near Mount Pleasant?
Yes, sites like Diplocks industrial estate are within our area, along with the rest of Mount Pleasant. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Sussex?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Building and refurbishing in Mount Pleasant
Rainfall across the South East, Mount Pleasant included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 40 miles from Mount Pleasant. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
When units on a site such as Diplocks industrial estate, 2.9 miles south-east of Mount Pleasant, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. University estates such as University of Sussex, 3.2 miles north-west of Mount Pleasant, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Do you need facade sealing in Mount Pleasant?
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Uckfield Community Hospital, 4.2 miles to the north-east of Mount Pleasant, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
