How we handle facade sealing in South Harting
Managing agents and owners in South Harting ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve water coming in around window frames and patch repairs that keep failing, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in South Harting is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as South Harting bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
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. For buildings around smaller places like South Harting, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
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 and we will explain how it’s made up.

Mastic packages on South Harting sites
South Harting lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. 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. Rainfall across the South East, South Harting included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around South Harting, such as Uppark, 1.2 miles south-west of South Harting, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors at a school such as Harting CofE Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a healthcare site such as Petersfield Community Hospital, which lies north-west of South Harting, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
South Harting is about 3 miles south-east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Across the GU31 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. South Harting is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 14 miles away.
We take on facade joints across the GU31 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Buildings on The Square, Smithfield and Mill Lane are within our area.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Petersfield Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is South Harting too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
