Facade sealing in Burlings
Managing agents and owners in Burlings ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and air leaks through failed facade joints, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Burlings is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Burlings, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions we’re asked in Burlings
Will you take on work at estates like Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate, close to Burlings?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Burlings, Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Burlings outside your area?
Not at all. Burlings is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How soon can the area be used again?
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.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Facade sealing around Burlings: points for this area
At about 15 miles from central London, Burlings is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. 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.
Hospital estates such as Orpington Hospital (to the north of Burlings) 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. When units on a site such as Biggin Hill Airport Trading Estate, 2.6 miles west of Burlings, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Quoting for work in Burlings
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Burlings can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Common problems we fix in Burlings
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Look out for the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
School extensions, at buildings such as Charles Darwin School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Proof of insurance
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
