Signs you need facade sealing in Chesham
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
For contractors at a school such as Elmtree Infant and Nursery School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How joint depth will be controlled
About our facade sealing in Chesham
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant on precast panel joints and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Chesham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Construction in a town such as Chesham is often smaller schemes: a few new flats, a school extension, a refurbished unit. The perimeter and facade joints on a small scheme need the same sizing and preparation as on a big one.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Town-centre premises in Chesham may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. Industrial and business units usually have yard or car park space.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Doing it in-house
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.
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.

Historic houses such as Cholesbury Manor House, 3.5 miles north-west of Chesham, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
