Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Sidlesham Common change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Sidlesham Common too far out for you?
Not at all. Sidlesham Common is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Facade sealing in Sidlesham Common, done properly
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Site teams most often ask us about staining on stone next to old sealant and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Sidlesham Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Sidlesham Common is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Mastic packages on Sidlesham Common sites
Sidlesham Common is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Sidlesham Common lies roughly 57 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
On a campus such as University of Chichester, 3.6 miles to the north of Sidlesham Common, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. For contractors at a college like West Sussex Alternative Provision College, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Sidlesham Common, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Sidlesham Common is about 3 miles south of Chichester, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO20, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Sidlesham Common
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Around Sidlesham Common, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
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.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- One number for every site we cover
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Common problems we fix in Sidlesham Common
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Look out for the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Extensions at sites like St Richard's Hospital (3.5 miles north of Sidlesham Common) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
