Facade sealing in Westdean
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is old perimeter mastic that has dried out and damp patches beside frames after rain. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Westdean is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites around smaller places like Westdean can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Westdean: questions and answers
Can work at a site such as University of Brighton fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can being near the sea in Westdean affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
New build and refits around Westdean
With the shore within about 2 miles, Westdean counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Westdean has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
On a campus such as University of Brighton, which lies north-west of Westdean, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. For contractors at a school such as Ladycross School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Westdean can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Do you need facade sealing in Westdean?
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House, 2 miles to the north of Westdean, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How joint depth will be controlled
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
