Facade sealing in Rudgwick, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve staining on stone next to old sealant and draughts around frames and panels, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames. Most enquiries from Rudgwick start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Rudgwick, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Sites and facades in and around Rudgwick
Rudgwick lies roughly 32 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The area within 2 miles of Rudgwick holds a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like The Old Brickworks Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles north-west of Rudgwick, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Rudgwick Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as The Old Brickworks Industrial Estate, near Rudgwick?

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Horsham Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Rural sites near Rudgwick may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
What we are called out for in Rudgwick
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
New wings at hospitals like Horsham Hospital (5.6 miles east of Rudgwick) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Commercial clients in Rudgwick
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

What else we do in Rudgwick
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
