Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Facade sealing in West Hoathly
Managing agents and owners in West Hoathly ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames after rain and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. For commercial sealant work in West Hoathly, 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 West Hoathly bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Contractors’ notes for West Hoathly
West Hoathly sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 29 miles from central London, West Hoathly is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Extensions at sites like Queen Victoria Hospital (4.6 miles north-east of West Hoathly) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Units on estates such as Hangdown Mead Business Park, 0.8 miles south-east of West Hoathly, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
West Hoathly is about 4 miles south-west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in West Hoathly is covered. Our West Sussex coverage takes in 373 places. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 17 miles away.

Cost factors for facade joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around West Hoathly, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions we’re asked in West Hoathly
Does your area include sites such as Hangdown Mead Business Park, near West Hoathly?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around West Hoathly, Hangdown Mead Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Queen Victoria Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
What we are called out for in West Hoathly
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
Older buildings in the area around West Hoathly, such as Priest House, 0.2 miles south-west of West Hoathly, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
