How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Upper Dicker
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Upper Dicker. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries involve patch repairs that keep failing and draughts around frames and panels, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Upper Dicker, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Upper Dicker bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What affects the price in Upper Dicker
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
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 rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters

Building and refurbishing in Upper Dicker
A 2-mile radius around Upper Dicker takes in a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hotels like Boship Hotel (1.3 miles north-east of Upper Dicker) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Units on estates such as Northfield Business Park (to the north of Upper Dicker) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like Hellingly Hospital Railway (to the north-east of Upper Dicker) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Upper Dicker is about 2 miles west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Across the BN27 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 308 places across East Sussex fall within our area, including Upper Dicker. Brighton is covered too, some 15 miles away.

Upper Dicker: questions and answers
Is Upper Dicker too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Upper Dicker, such as Northfield Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Upper Dicker, Northfield Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Dicker
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Upper Dicker, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
