Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Chawton, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Chawton
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 cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. The enquiries we see most involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and new sealant peeling off old mastic, across shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Chawton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Chawton 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: Chawton
Is Chawton too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Chawton are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Alton Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Sites and facades in and around Chawton
Central London is about 46 miles from Chawton. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Chawton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Older buildings in the area around Chawton, such as Bentworth Hall, which lies west of Chawton, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Farringdon Business Park, which lies south of Chawton, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Market Hotel (1.1 miles north-east of Chawton), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Chawton need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
