Facade sealing in Shoreham
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Most enquiries involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Shoreham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Shoreham 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 will quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Common problems we fix in Shoreham
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
With historic properties like Lullingstone Castle (1.8 miles north-east of Shoreham) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Facade sealing around Shoreham: what changes locally
Rainfall across the South East, Shoreham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 16 miles from Shoreham. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like North Downs Business Park, 2 miles south-west of Shoreham, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. New wings at hospitals like Chelsfield Park Hospital, 2.6 miles to the north-west of Shoreham, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

FAQs: Shoreham
Is Shoreham off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is a hospital such as Chelsfield Park Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we will agree the approach together.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Rural sites near Shoreham 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 look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Why act early in Shoreham
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Halls, stores and units around places like Shoreham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
