How we handle facade sealing in Broomfield
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Broomfield it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Broomfield, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What we’re called out for in Broomfield
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Hospital estates such as KIMS hospital (4.5 miles north-west of Broomfield) 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.

Why act early in Broomfield
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Older rural buildings around Broomfield move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Broomfield: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Roebuck Business Park, by Broomfield?
Yes. We cover Broomfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Roebuck Business Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Broomfield too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Broomfield is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will rain stop the work?
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
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, and we work to what is specified.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end 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, primed where the maker specifies.
Facades, frames and programmes in Broomfield
Rainfall across the South East, Broomfield included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 36 miles from central London, Broomfield is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.

For contractors at a school such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
