Facade sealing for businesses in Caterham
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why deal with it now?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. For businesses and landlords in Caterham, a tidy, sound joint also matters for appearance. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What you get with us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Colour agreed before work starts
Facade sealing in Caterham, done properly
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are facade joints cracked through the middle and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Caterham tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For contractors on site in a town like Caterham, the mastic has to fit the programme: perimeters sealed before scaffold is struck, internal sealant after decoration, snags before handover. Send drawings and the programme and we’ll price to suit.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Questions we are asked in Caterham
Would you work within a site like North Downs Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Church Walk Shopping Centre, near Caterham, within your area?
Yes, sites like Church Walk Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Caterham. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Facades, frames and programmes in Caterham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Caterham lies roughly 15 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Church Walk Shopping Centre (to the south-east of Caterham) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Older buildings in the area around Caterham, such as Titsey Place, 4.7 miles east of Caterham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Projects at schools like Hillcroft Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
