Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
About our facade sealing in Pulborough
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have air leaks through failed facade joints and patch repairs that keep failing, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Pulborough is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like Pulborough often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. What matters most for a job in Pulborough is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
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 with backing and a facade-grade sealant.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
New build and refits around Pulborough
Pulborough lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Further education sites such as Brinsbury College (2.4 miles north-east of Pulborough) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. New units and refits on sites such as Station Approach Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles west of Pulborough, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Installing or repairing glazing systems

What we are called out for in Pulborough
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Staining on stone next to old sealant

Questions about Pulborough
Is Pulborough off your patch?
No. Places such as Pulborough are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Station Approach Industrial Estate, near Pulborough?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Pulborough, Station Approach Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
