About our facade sealing in Upper Wellingham
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. 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. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and draughts around frames and panels, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Upper Wellingham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Upper Wellingham, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Halls, stores and units around places like Upper Wellingham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Questions about Upper Wellingham
Would you work within a site like Lewes Victoria Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Sussex for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions.
Is Upper Wellingham in your area?
Yes. Upper Wellingham falls within our area, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What we’re called out for in Upper Wellingham
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
When units on a site such as Diplocks industrial estate, 1.1 miles to the south-east of Upper Wellingham, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Facades, frames and programmes in Upper Wellingham
Upper Wellingham lies roughly 41 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Upper Wellingham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
University estates such as University of Sussex (4.9 miles north-west of Upper Wellingham) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
