How we handle facade sealing in Chalkwell
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Most enquiries involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, across cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Chalkwell tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Chalkwell, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: 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?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Small buildings around Chalkwell suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can you work to our specification?

Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.

No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Mastic packages on Chalkwell sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Chalkwell. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Chalkwell. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For contractors on a campus like University of Essex (1.6 miles east of Chalkwell), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. New units and refits on sites such as Tickfield Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the east of Chalkwell, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. On a healthcare site such as Southend University Hospital (0.9 miles north-east of Chalkwell), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
