About our facade sealing in Westmeston
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries involve patch repairs that keep failing and cold air coming in at window perimeters, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Westmeston, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Westmeston is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Older rural buildings around Westmeston move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Westmeston
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Ditchling Common Business Park, 2.8 miles north of Westmeston, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Westmeston can form part of a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Share access with other external trades
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. 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. If others near Westmeston need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Facades, frames and programmes in Westmeston
At about 41 miles from central London, Westmeston is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, Westmeston included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as The Dene Hospital, 4.7 miles north-west of Westmeston, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Further education sites such as Plumpton College, 1.5 miles east of Westmeston, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Questions we are asked in Westmeston
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Sussex?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Westmeston off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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 long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
