How we handle facade sealing in Chipping
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Site teams most often ask us about failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, across window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Chipping from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Chipping, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, 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. Rural sites near Chipping may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Why deal with it now?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Older rural buildings around Chipping move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

What we are called out for in Chipping
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
When a school such as Freman College is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Chipping?
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.
Is Chipping off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How do we ask for a quote?

Mastic packages on Chipping sites
Chipping is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions.

At about 32 miles from central London, Chipping is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
