Facade sealing around Saddlescombe: points for this area
Central London is about 42 miles from Saddlescombe. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Saddlescombe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
On a campus such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (4.4 miles south-east of Saddlescombe), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. Older buildings in the area around Saddlescombe, such as Portslade Manor, which lies south of Saddlescombe, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Extensions at sites like Montefiore Hospital (4.3 miles south-east of Saddlescombe) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Facade sealing in Saddlescombe, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and draughts around frames and panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Saddlescombe first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Saddlescombe can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints

Common questions from Saddlescombe clients
Does your area include sites such as Aviation Trading Estate, near Saddlescombe?
Yes. Our area takes in Saddlescombe and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Aviation Trading Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, 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.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end to the correct depth.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Why act early in Saddlescombe
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Saddlescombe. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
