Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Mastic packages on Rusher's Cross sites
Rainfall across the South East, Rusher's Cross included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 36 miles from central London, Rusher's Cross is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
With historic properties like Wadhurst Castle (2.6 miles north-east of Rusher's Cross) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Extensions at sites like Ticehurst House Hospital (to the east of Rusher's Cross) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Units on estates such as Durgates Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles north-east of Rusher's Cross, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Questions we’re asked in Rusher's Cross
Is a hospital such as Ticehurst House Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Durgates Industrial Estate, near Rusher's Cross?
Yes. We cover Rusher's Cross and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Durgates Industrial Estate. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on 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 take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Older rural buildings around Rusher's Cross move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Rusher's Cross are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
