Facade sealing for Chelsham sites

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Maintenance after handover

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
  • Walk the elevations once or twice a year
  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
  • Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints

Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.

Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Chelsham

Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is cladding panel joints that have opened up and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. For commercial sealant work in Chelsham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

Sites around smaller places like Chelsham can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Surrey. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What sealant work can’t fix

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:

  • Damaged frames that need replacing
  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
  • Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier

If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work in Chelsham

  • Shopfront frames
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Coping and flashing joints

From enquiry to sign-off

We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Chelsham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
  2. The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
  3. Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
  4. Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
  5. A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
  6. The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Getting the site ready

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice

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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Chelsham. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What you get with us

  • Over 20 years of commercial sealing
  • Failed material removed, not covered up
  • Constructionline member for supplier checks
  • Colour options checked against the specified product

Sites and facades in and around Chelsham

Chelsham lies roughly 13 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Chelsham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.

For a contractor working at a hospital such as Warlingham Park Hospital (less than half a mile north of Chelsham), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Projects at colleges like John Ruskin College, 2.6 miles to the north of Chelsham, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Chelsham is about 3 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. We send applicators to Chelsham for facade joints. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, including Chelsham. Our London page has more on work in that area (13 miles or so).

We cover the CR6 postcode districts for facade joints. Among the streets we cover are Chelsham Common and Chelsham Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Close to Chelsham, our area also takes in Farleigh (1 mile north), Warlingham (1 mile west), Hamsey Green (1 mile west), Fickleshole (1 mile north-east) and New Addington (2 miles north). Bigger towns within reach include Epsom (10 miles west), Horley (11 miles south-west), Redhill (8 miles south-west), Ewell (10 miles west), Reigate (9 miles south-west) and Caterham (3 miles south-west).

For managing agents and facilities managers

If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Questions we are asked in Chelsham

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Warlingham Park Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Is a smaller place like Chelsham outside your area?

No. Places such as Chelsham are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Can you work on upper floors?

That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we’ll plan the work with you.

Should we check old sealant for asbestos?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.

How long will the new sealant last?

There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

What we are called out for in Chelsham

Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.

Look out for the following:

  • Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
  • Damp patches beside frames after rain
  • Previous reseals run over old sealant
  • Failed sealant on precast panel joints

When a school such as Warlingham Village Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Before you book anyone

  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Their public liability cover
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
