Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Facade sealing in Saltdean
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. The enquiries we see most involve weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and leaks at window and door perimeters, across window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Saltdean, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building work in places the size of Saltdean is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
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.

What else we do in Saltdean
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Mastic packages on Saltdean sites
Saltdean sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Saltdean is about 48 miles from central London. 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.
For contractors at a school such as Saltdean Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Extensions at sites like Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital, 2.8 miles to the north-west of Saltdean, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Saltdean is about 1 mile west of Telscombe, in Brighton and Hove. Commercial clients in Saltdean use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Brighton and Hove. 29 places across Brighton and Hove fall within our area, including Saltdean.

Local landmarks in Saltdean
Around Saltdean, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Beacon Hill, Queen Victoria pub and Longhill High School. The nearest railway station is Southease station, about 3.7 miles north-east.

What we’re called out for in Saltdean
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Water coming in around window frames
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Work at a hotel such as Olde Place Hotel (0.8 miles west of Saltdean) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Questions about Saltdean
Is a hospital such as Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Saltdean outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
