Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Burntcommon
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Most enquiries involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and damp patches beside frames after rain, on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Burntcommon first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Burntcommon, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Converted and older buildings near places like Burntcommon tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Facade sealing in Burntcommon: the local picture
Burntcommon is about 23 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Burntcommon 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.
When a school such as Send CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For contractors on a campus like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus, which lies south-west of Burntcommon, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. When units on a site such as Merrow Business Park (to the south-west of Burntcommon) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Burntcommon is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Burntcommon sits inside our coverage and the rest of Surrey, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Surrey coverage takes in 379 places, large and small. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures

- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally 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 Burntcommon, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.

Advice
When something else is needed

- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
