How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.

Black Notley: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Black Notley, such as Lanham Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Black Notley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Lanham Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Braintree College?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.

Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Older rural buildings around Black Notley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
