Your questions answered
Our building in Yapton is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus)?
Yes. Education sites typically 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.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Facade sealing in Yapton
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Most enquiries involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and water coming in around window frames, on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Yapton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Conversions around smaller places like Yapton often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Do you need facade sealing in Yapton?
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Units on estates such as Orchard Business Park. (0.5 miles north of Yapton) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

What affects the price in Yapton
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Commercial clients in Yapton
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For a site in Yapton, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Facades, frames and programmes in Yapton
Yapton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. A 2-mile radius around Yapton takes in a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
University estates such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus) (3 miles south-west of Yapton) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Projects at schools like Yapton CE Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
