About our facade sealing in Three Leg Cross
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are cold air coming in at window perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Most enquiries from Three Leg Cross start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Three Leg Cross 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings around smaller places like Three Leg Cross, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Questions we’re asked in Three Leg Cross
Is Three Leg Cross too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Three Leg Cross, such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Three Leg Cross and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parsonage Farm Business Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Three Leg Cross
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Extensions at sites like Ticehurst House Hospital (0.5 miles south-west of Three Leg Cross) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Facade sealing around Three Leg Cross: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Three Leg Cross 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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 38 miles from central London, Three Leg Cross is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Bell Hotel, 0.6 miles south of Three Leg Cross, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Historic houses such as Scotney Castle, 2.6 miles north of Three Leg Cross, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
