What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building

About our facade sealing in Calcott
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we are called in for most is gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and staining on stone next to old sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Calcott is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites around smaller places like Calcott can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Is a smaller place like Calcott outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Calcott, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Sites and facades in and around Calcott
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. Central London is about 54 miles from Calcott. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Buddy's Retail Park (1 mile south of Calcott), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. School extensions, at buildings such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hospital estates such as St Martins Hospital (3.2 miles south of Calcott) 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.
