Do you need facade sealing in Catmore?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Sites around Catmore get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

How we handle facade sealing in Catmore
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames. For commercial sealant work in Catmore, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Catmore bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Catmore can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- 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.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.

Contractors’ notes for Catmore
Catmore sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 54 miles from Catmore. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
A facade joint near Catmore lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
