How we handle facade sealing in Bedham
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and leaks at window and door perimeters, across stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Bedham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Bedham, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we are called out for in Bedham
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
With historic properties like Old Place Manor, 2.2 miles to the east of Bedham, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their public liability cover
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Facade sealing in Bedham: the local picture
Bedham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Bedham lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Hotels like The Swan Hotel (0.9 miles south of Bedham) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. When units on a site such as Station Approach Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Bedham, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
