About our facade sealing in Aldworth
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames after rain and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Aldworth it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Aldworth, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: 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.

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Aldworth can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Your questions answered
Is Aldworth 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.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Aldworth?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Share access with other external trades
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facades, frames and programmes in Aldworth
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 the external programme keeps a little slack. Aldworth is about 48 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
With historic properties like Basildon Park, 3.6 miles to the east of Aldworth, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors at a school such as The Downs School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldworth
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Halls, stores and units around places like Aldworth may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
