Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Stonegate are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Facade sealing in Stonegate, done properly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you’re dealing with weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Stonegate, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Stonegate 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 photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Stonegate
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Older buildings in the area around Stonegate, such as Wadhurst Castle (3 miles north-west of Stonegate), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints

New build and refits around Stonegate
Stonegate is about 38 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Stonegate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
New units and refits on sites such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre (1.3 miles north-east of Stonegate) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors at a school such as Stonegate Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Stonegate is about 9 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. Our applicators travel to Stonegate for work on facade joints. We work across 308 places in East Sussex, large and small. There’s a separate page for Brighton, about 26 miles away.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Your questions answered
Is Parsonage Farm Business Centre, near Stonegate, within your area?
Yes. We cover Stonegate and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Ticehurst House Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
