What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Providing access systems for the work

About our facade sealing in Beansheaf Farm
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are air leaks through failed facade joints and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Beansheaf Farm 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 Beansheaf Farm, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?

Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a job in Beansheaf Farm, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Signs you need facade sealing in Beansheaf Farm
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Water coming in around window frames
Extensions at sites like Prospect Park Hospital, 1.5 miles to the north-east of Beansheaf Farm, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
