About our facade sealing in Tangmere
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are staining on stone next to old sealant and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Most enquiries from Tangmere start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
On a small site around Tangmere, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
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 fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Common problems we fix in Tangmere
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
University estates such as University of Chichester, 2.3 miles south of Tangmere, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Tangmere: questions and answers
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Chichester?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you work on upper floors?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we will agree the approach together.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Building and refurbishing in Tangmere
Central London is about 52 miles from Tangmere. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Tangmere included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Chichester Business Park. (under half a mile east of Tangmere), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. School extensions, at buildings such as Tangmere Primary Academy, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
