Facade sealing for West Lavington sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Facade sealing in West Lavington, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and facade joints cracked through the middle. Whoever orders the work in West Lavington, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like West Lavington, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. If others near West Lavington need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Holmbush Industrial Estate, close to West Lavington?
Yes. We cover West Lavington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Holmbush Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in West Lavington
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Midhurst Community Hospital, which lies north of West Lavington, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Comparing quotes
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Facade sealing around West Lavington: what changes locally
Central London is about 45 miles from West Lavington. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.

For a contractor at a hotel such as The Spread Eagle Hotel, 0.5 miles to the north-west of West Lavington, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Older buildings in the area around West Lavington, such as Cowdray House (0.6 miles north of West Lavington), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
