How we handle facade sealing in Westergate
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, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Most enquiries involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and staining on stone next to old sealant, across coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Westergate it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
On a small site around Westergate, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. What matters most for a job in Westergate is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send your site hours and access windows

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Facades, frames and programmes in Westergate
Westergate lies roughly 52 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Westergate has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
School extensions, at buildings such as Aldingbourne Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as The Woodhorn Business Centre (1.6 miles west of Westergate) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Extensions at sites like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, 3.1 miles south of Westergate, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Westergate is about 3 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Looking for facade sealing in Westergate? We can help, as we do across West Sussex. Westergate is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. We also cover Portsmouth, some 18 miles away.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Common questions from Westergate clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as University of Chichester fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. 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.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.

Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
