From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a site in Polegate, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
How we handle facade sealing in Polegate
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have patch repairs that keep failing and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Polegate first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Polegate, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions about Polegate
Does your area include sites such as Chaucer Industrial Estate, near Polegate?
Yes. Our area takes in Polegate and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Chaucer Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
What affects the price in Polegate
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Small buildings around Polegate suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

What we’re called out for in Polegate
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Extensions at sites like Eastbourne District General Hospital (to the south of Polegate) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Building and refurbishing in Polegate
At about 49 miles from central London, Polegate is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
On a campus such as University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus, 4.7 miles to the south of Polegate, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Chaucer Industrial Estate (0.9 miles east of Polegate), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
