About our facade sealing in Slaugham
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you have weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Slaugham? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Slaugham bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Different surfaces, different methods
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, with primer where its maker specifies.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Signs you need facade sealing in Slaugham
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Historic houses such as Tyes Place (1.8 miles east of Slaugham) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Slaugham: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Crawley Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Slaugham?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Slaugham, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What you get with us
- One contact handling all your sites
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
See our cost guide and how we’re accredited.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts.

- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.

- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you

Advice
New build and refits around Slaugham
Central London is about 32 miles from Slaugham. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Slaugham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
New wings at hospitals like Crawley Hospital (5.4 miles north of Slaugham) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a school such as Warninglid Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
