Facade sealing in Abbotswood
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Abbotswood from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
On a small site around Abbotswood, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Signs you need facade sealing in Abbotswood
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
New units and refits on sites such as Ladymead Retail Park (to the north-west of Abbotswood) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Common questions from Abbotswood clients
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Abbotswood off your patch?
Not at all. Abbotswood is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a site in Abbotswood, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Abbotswood
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What you get with us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

What affects the price in Abbotswood
To price the job, we consider:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
