Facade sealing in West Stoke
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are draughts around frames and panels and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. For commercial sealant work in West Stoke, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like West Stoke can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

West Stoke: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Chichester?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
Do you cover West Stoke?
Yes. We cover West Stoke. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

What else we do in West Stoke
Why deal with it now?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. Halls, stores and units around places like West Stoke may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Do you need facade sealing in West Stoke?
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
When units on a site such as Polthooks Farm Industrial Estate., 1.7 miles to the south of West Stoke, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Facade sealing in West Stoke: the local picture
Central London is about 54 miles from West Stoke. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. West Stoke sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Building work at universities like University of Chichester (2.8 miles south-east of West Stoke) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. When a school such as Bishop Luffa School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like West Stoke are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
