When to call us in Ardleigh Green
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Rom Valley Retail Park (to the south-west of Ardleigh Green) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
About our facade sealing in Ardleigh Green
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is cladding panel joints that have opened up and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Ardleigh Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Ardleigh Green must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Ardleigh Green as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Contractors’ notes for Ardleigh Green
The area within 2 miles of Ardleigh Green holds several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Site traffic in Ardleigh Green falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
For contractors at a school such as Ardleigh Green Junior School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as Victoria Hospital, 1.2 miles to the west of Ardleigh Green, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Ardleigh Green is about 2 miles east of Romford, in Greater London. Anywhere in RM2, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
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.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Ardleigh Green: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you take on work at estates like Rom Valley Retail Park, close to Ardleigh Green?
Yes. We cover Ardleigh Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Rom Valley Retail Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. In Ardleigh Green, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
