Common problems we fix in Strettington
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Goodwood Hotel, which lies north of Strettington, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Facade sealing in Strettington, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Strettington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Strettington 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 typically what’s needed.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Facades, frames and programmes in Strettington
The South East is one of the drier 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 52 miles from Strettington. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
When a school such as Boxgrove CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Extensions at sites like St Richard's Hospital, 1.9 miles south-west of Strettington, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Questions about Strettington
Is Strettington too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Strettington are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Chichester?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Strettington, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

What affects the price in Strettington
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Halls, stores and units around places like Strettington may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
