About our facade sealing in West Blatchington
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you are dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and discoloured or dirty facade joints, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Blatchington first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a contractor on a smaller site near West Blatchington, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Sites and facades in and around West Blatchington
West Blatchington is within about 2 miles of the coast. 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. Rainfall across the South East, West Blatchington 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.
For contractors at a college like Varndean College, 1.6 miles to the east of West Blatchington, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Hospital estates such as Mill View Hospital, 0.5 miles to the south-west of West Blatchington, 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. For a contractor at a hotel such as Station Hotel, 1.1 miles to the east of West Blatchington, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Advice
Building owners, agents and FMs in West Blatchington
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Mill View Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like West Blatchington outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Share access with other external trades
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
