How we handle facade sealing in Broadley Common
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Broadley Common is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Broadley Common, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Facade sealing around Broadley Common: what changes locally
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Broadley Common lies roughly 18 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
When a school such as Water Lane Primary Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Princess Alexandra Hospital (2.3 miles north-east of Broadley Common), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Broadley Common is about 3 miles south-west of Harlow, in Essex. Anywhere in EN9, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Broadley Common is one of 644 places we cover in Essex for facade joints. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 18 miles away.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints

- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Broadley Common are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Halls, stores and units around places like Broadley Common may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Signs you need facade sealing in Broadley Common
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Projects at colleges like Harlow College, 2.6 miles north-east of Broadley Common, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
