Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Chilton Foliat
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Most enquiries from Chilton Foliat start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Chilton Foliat 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Chilton Foliat
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Halls, stores and units around places like Chilton Foliat may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
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 to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Chilton Foliat: questions and answers
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Chilton Foliat?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Charnham Business Park, by Chilton Foliat?
Yes. Our area takes in Chilton Foliat and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Charnham Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
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.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Chilton Foliat, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
