When to call us in Abbotts Barton
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Water coming in around window frames
University estates such as University of Winchester (1.2 miles south-west of Abbotts Barton) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Facade sealing in Abbotts Barton
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cladding panel joints that have opened up and draughts around frames and panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Abbotts Barton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a smaller place such as Abbotts Barton, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Every job is signed 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. For buildings in places like Abbotts Barton, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Your questions answered
Is Abbotts Barton off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Winchester?
Yes. Education sites normally 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.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a job in Abbotts Barton, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.

- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Building and refurbishing in Abbotts Barton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Abbotts Barton. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When a college such as Peter Symonds College, 0.6 miles to the west of Abbotts Barton, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. When units on a site such as Wykeham Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles south-east of Abbotts Barton, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
