Your questions answered
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in The Pound?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Bexhill Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
About our facade sealing in The Pound
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals run over old sealant and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in The Pound tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as The Pound 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 usually what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings around smaller places like The Pound, 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. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Cost factors for facade joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
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.
Mastic packages on The Pound sites
The Pound lies roughly 46 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. The Pound is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Bexhill Hospital, 5.2 miles south-east of The Pound, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Sites around The Pound get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
The Pound is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Across the TN33 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in East Sussex, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area (23 miles or so).
Anyone looking for facade sealing in TN33 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Buildings on Church Road and Linghams Lane are within our area. If your building is just outside The Pound, we cover Ashburnham (1 mile north), Brownbread Street (1 mile north-west), Bodle Street Green (2 miles west), Wood's Corner (3 miles north) and Trolliloes (3 miles west). Nearby towns on our patch include Eastbourne (9 miles south-west), Hastings (8 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles south-east), Seaford (15 miles south-west), Hailsham (7 miles south-west) and Crowborough (14 miles north-west).
What’s near The Pound
We work on buildings around Ashburnham Park and The Ash Tree Inn, among other places. The Pound’s nearest station is Battle station, roughly 4.5 miles east. A little further out are Bexhill Hospital (5.2 miles south-east) and Herstmonceux Castle (3.3 miles south-west). Not far away are Senlac Hill.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Jobs in and around smaller places like The Pound are usually planned as a single 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
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Share access with other external trades
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
