Facade sealing near Pig Street
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Pig Street are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open

Facade sealing in Pig Street, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Pig Street it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Pig Street bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints

Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Halls, stores and units around places like Pig Street may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Mastic packages on Pig Street sites
Pig Street sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Pig Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors at a school such as Rolph CofE Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Units on estates such as Rice Bridge Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north-east of Pig Street) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.

Common problems we fix in Pig Street
Product choice matters: 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.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Work at a hotel such as Lifehouse Spa & Hotel (0.8 miles north-east of Pig Street) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
