Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Share access with other external trades
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
About our facade sealing in Burford
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and water coming in around window frames. Searching for sealant specialists in Burford? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around places like Burford, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to call us in Burford
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Projects at schools like Burford Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

How the job changes 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, with primer where its maker specifies.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Mastic packages on Burford sites
Burford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. A 2-mile radius around Burford takes in a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (to the east of Burford) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Work at a hotel such as The Highway Hotel, under half a mile north-west of Burford, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

FAQs: Burford
Is Burford too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Burford is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Burford?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
