Facade sealing for businesses in Ballards Gore
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
About our facade sealing in Ballards Gore
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. If you are dealing with failed sealant on precast panel joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can help, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Ballards Gore, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Ballards Gore, 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.
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?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ballards Gore. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Purdey's industrial estate, near Ballards Gore?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ballards Gore, Purdey's industrial estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Essex?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Facade sealing in Ballards Gore: the local picture
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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 37 miles from central London, Ballards Gore is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Building work at universities like University of Essex, 4.6 miles south of Ballards Gore, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. For contractors at a school such as King Edmund School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. With historic properties like Southchurch Hall (4.5 miles south of Ballards Gore) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
