When to call us in Petworth
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
On a healthcare site such as Midhurst Community Hospital, 5.5 miles to the west of Petworth, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Facade sealing in Petworth, done properly
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Petworth. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. The enquiries we see most involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant, across coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Petworth tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites around smaller places like Petworth can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Questions we are asked in Petworth
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Hampers Common Industrial Estate, close to Petworth?
Yes, sites like Hampers Common Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Petworth. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Contractors’ notes for Petworth
A 2-mile radius around Petworth takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Rainfall across the South East, Petworth included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Petworth, such as Petworth House, 0.3 miles to the north of Petworth, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Projects at schools like Petworth Cof E Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
