Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Halls, stores and units around places like West Wittering may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

How we handle facade sealing in West Wittering
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in West Wittering tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like West Wittering, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

West Wittering: questions and answers
Does a coastal location like West Wittering affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can the mastic package for our job in West Wittering follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What else we do in West Wittering
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Contractors’ notes for West Wittering
With the shore within about 1 mile, West Wittering counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. West Wittering sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors at a school such as West Wittering Parochial Church of England School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like West Wittering are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- 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.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Advice
Common problems we fix in West Wittering
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally 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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Water coming in around window frames
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Sites around West Wittering get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
