Mastic packages on Burton End sites
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, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Burton End has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Bury Lodge Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south of Burton End, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. On a healthcare site such as Herts And Essex Community Hospital, 2.5 miles to the south-west of Burton End, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

About our facade sealing in Burton End
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames after rain and facade joints cracked through the middle. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Burton End 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.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Burton End is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What happens if it’s left?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Around Burton End, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why us?

- Constructionline member

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
FAQs: Burton End
Does your area include sites such as Nook Farm Industrial Estate, near Burton End?
Yes. We cover Burton End and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Nook Farm Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Arthur Findlay College?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What we are called out for in Burton End
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For contractors at a school such as Forest Hall School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. For a building around Burton End, 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.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
