About our facade sealing in Norton
Managing agents and owners in Norton ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and damp patches beside frames after rain. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Norton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Norton can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Norton, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Advice
Questions about Norton
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Chichester Business Park., close to Norton?
Yes, sites like Chichester Business Park. Are within our area, along with the rest of Norton. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your 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.

What else we do in Norton
What we’re called out for in Norton
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
Look out for the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
For contractors on a campus like University of Chichester, 2.8 miles to the south-west of Norton, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Why act early in Norton
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Around Norton, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Facades, frames and programmes in Norton
Norton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Norton lies roughly 52 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Chichester Business Park., which lies west of Norton, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Projects at schools like Ormiston Six Villages Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Norton is about 4 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
