From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a job in Blacklands, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

How we handle facade sealing in Blacklands
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Blacklands start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Conversions around smaller places like Blacklands often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Blacklands
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For contractors at a school such as Ark Blacklands Primary Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.

What else we do in Blacklands
What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Building and refurbishing in Blacklands
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Blacklands. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Central London is about 53 miles from Blacklands. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Hospital estates such as Conquest Hospital (1.3 miles north of Blacklands) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Work at a hotel such as Chatsworth Hotel, 0.9 miles to the south of Blacklands, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Questions we are asked in Blacklands
Does your area include sites such as York Road Business Centre, near Blacklands?
Yes. Our area takes in Blacklands and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as York Road Business Centre included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Blacklands too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
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.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
