Facade sealing in Burkham
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Burkham. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Most enquiries involve weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Burkham is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Burkham bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Share access with other external trades
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.

Your questions answered
Can you keep pace with our programme in Burkham?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Burkham outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Burkham
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Alton Community Hospital (4.4 miles south-east of Burkham), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

New build and refits around Burkham
Rainfall across the South East, Burkham included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Burkham lies roughly 47 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Older buildings in the area around Burkham, such as Hall Place, which lies south of Burkham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Providing access systems for the work
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Burkham
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a building around Burkham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
