Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed 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. For buildings around smaller places like Salehurst, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Facade sealing in Salehurst, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Salehurst, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Salehurst, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions we’re asked in Salehurst
Do you cover business parks and estates near Salehurst, such as Bodiam Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Salehurst and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bodiam Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ticehurst House Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Salehurst 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 look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Salehurst can sit alongside others in a wider programme across East Sussex.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facade sealing in Salehurst: the local picture
Central London is about 43 miles from Salehurst. 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. Salehurst is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Units on estates such as Bodiam Business Park (to the north-east of Salehurst) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. With historic properties like Durhamford Manor, 3.7 miles to the south of Salehurst, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Salehurst is about 9 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Across the TN32 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Salehurst is one of 308 places in East Sussex on our list. Brighton is covered too, some 29 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: TN32 for facade joints. Nearby places we also cover include Northbridge Street (1 mile west), Robertsbridge (1 mile south-west), John's Cross (2 miles south), Mountfield (3 miles south) and Oxley's Green (4 miles south-west) for facade joints.

Landmarks near Salehurst
Around Salehurst, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Salehurst Halt Public House and Robertsbridge Community College.

What we’re called out for in Salehurst
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Extensions at sites like Ticehurst House Hospital (to the north-west of Salehurst) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
