Facade sealing for Patcham sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Facade sealing in Patcham, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is previous reseals run over old sealant and air leaks through failed facade joints. Most enquiries from Patcham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions around smaller places like Patcham often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Brighton and Hove. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Patcham need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

What else we do in Patcham
Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
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.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In a smaller place such as Patcham, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Facades, frames and programmes in Patcham
Patcham sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. 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. At about 44 miles from central London, Patcham is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
On a campus such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, 1.9 miles south-east of Patcham, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. Further education sites such as Downs View Life Skills College (to the south of Patcham) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Patcham is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cover Patcham, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our Brighton and Hove coverage takes in 29 places, large and small.
We cover the BN1 postcode districts for facade joints. We cover commercial and managed buildings on London Road, Vale Avenue and Eldred Avenue. Sites close to Patcham are covered too, including Waterhall (1 mile north-west), Westdene (1 mile south-west), Hollingbury (1 mile east), Withdean (1 mile south) and Preston (1 mile south).

Local landmarks in Patcham
In Patcham, that means premises near Withdean Park, Patcham High School and The Dharma Primary School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Preston Park station, roughly 1.3 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Clayton Castle (3.1 miles north) and Brighton Transport Museum (1.8 miles south). For a walk, there’s Ditchling Beacon and Ladies Mile.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Quoting for work in Patcham
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Signs you need facade sealing in Patcham
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
For a contractor working at a hospital such as The Montefiore Hospital, 2.3 miles south of Patcham, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Patcham affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you work in Patcham?
Yes. Sites across Patcham are covered.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
