Facade sealing in Udimore
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you are dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Udimore tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Udimore is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Do you need facade sealing in Udimore?
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:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
Hospital estates such as Conquest Hospital (5.4 miles south-west of Udimore) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Udimore can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
New build and refits around Udimore
Udimore is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 50 miles from Udimore. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Historic houses such as Lamb House (to the east of Udimore) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Questions about Udimore
Would you work within a site like Conquest Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Udimore?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the 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.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call 01277 525 020 or email the details over, describe the access.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
