Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Normans' Bay

Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and failed sealant on precast panel joints, across stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames. Whoever orders the work in Normans' Bay, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

Construction in and around smaller places such as Normans' Bay is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.

The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?

Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Older rural buildings around Normans' Bay move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What affects the price in Normans' Bay

These are the things that shape the price:

  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Phasing around occupants

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What to include in your enquiry

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • When you need the work done
  • The type of building and who uses it

To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.

Our process

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Smaller jobs around Normans' Bay can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
  2. We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
  3. Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
  4. Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
  5. Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Normans' Bay: questions and answers

Is hospital work, at somewhere like Bexhill Hospital, something you do?

Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Does the sea air around Normans' Bay change the choice of sealant?

It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.

Can staff carry on working while you are here?

In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

Is colour matching possible?

That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Do you use silicone for external joints?

The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

After the work

Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:

  • Walk the elevations once or twice a year
  • Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
  • Never let anyone seal over old sealant
  • Keep the sealant details on the building file

Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.

Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.

What the job involves on each surface

Render and coated surfaces

Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.

Window and door perimeters

Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.

Contractors’ notes for Normans' Bay

Normans' Bay is within about 1 mile of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Rainfall across the South East, Normans' Bay included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.

Extensions at sites like Bexhill Hospital (4 miles north-east of Normans' Bay) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. On any site in or around Normans' Bay, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
