About our facade sealing in Bourne End
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are previous reseals run over old sealant and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. For commercial sealant work in Bourne End, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Bourne End is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bourne End, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it

Questions we are asked in Bourne End
Could you schedule work at a campus like West Herts College for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Would you work within a site like Hemel Hempstead Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Sites and facades in and around Bourne End
Bourne End is about 25 miles 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. Bourne End 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Work at a hotel such as Boxmoor Lodge Hotel (to the south-east of Bourne End) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When a college such as West Herts College, 1.9 miles to the east of Bourne End, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. When a school such as Pixies Hill Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Surface by surface
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.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
