How we handle facade sealing in Portslade
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we will fit the work around it. If you are dealing with new sealant peeling off old mastic and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Portslade? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around places like Portslade, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Work we carry out in Brighton and Hove comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Portslade need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits

What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Why it’s worth doing now in Portslade
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure. Small buildings around Portslade suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Mastic packages on Portslade sites
Portslade is within about 1 mile of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Portslade 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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Portslade Manor (to the south-west of Portslade) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When units on a site such as Victoria Road Trading Estate, 0.6 miles south-east of Portslade, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. School extensions, at buildings such as Peter Gladwin Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
