About our facade sealing in Westham
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is sealant pulling away from frames or panels and staining on stone next to old sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Westham? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites around smaller places like Westham 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.

FAQs: Westham
Is Westham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Doing it in-house
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Facade sealing around Westham: what changes locally
Westham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Westham. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Hospital estates such as Eastbourne District General Hospital (3.1 miles south-west of Westham) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. New units and refits on sites such as Westham Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Westham, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Bay Hotel, 1.5 miles to the east of Westham, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Westham is about 3 miles north-east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We cover commercial sites throughout Westham, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places. We also cover Brighton, some 20 miles away.
