About our facade sealing in Aston
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Most enquiries involve water coming in around window frames and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Aston start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In the countryside around places like Aston, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
When to call us in Aston
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Astonbury Farm & Business Park, less than half a mile to the south of Aston, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Facade sealing around Aston: how the place shapes the job
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 27 miles from Aston. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Lister Hospital, which lies north-west of Aston, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors at a college like North Hertfordshire College - Stevenage Campus, 2.2 miles west of Aston, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Aston is about 2 miles south-east of Stevenage, in Hertfordshire. Any commercial site in Aston is covered. Aston is one of 371 places we cover in Hertfordshire. London is covered too, some 27 miles away.

What else we do in Aston
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
