About our facade sealing in Tide Mills
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and draughts around frames and panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tide Mills from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Tide Mills can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings around smaller places like Tide Mills, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Tide Mills: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Brighton?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Should we check old sealant for 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.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tide Mills are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Facades, frames and programmes in Tide Mills
Tide Mills lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a healthcare site such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, which lies south-west of Tide Mills, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Hotels like White Lion Hotel, 1.2 miles south-east of Tide Mills, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Units on estates such as Newhaven Industrial Park, 0.6 miles north-west of Tide Mills, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Tide Mills is about 1 mile south-east of Newhaven, in East Sussex.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
