About our facade sealing in Chipping Ongar
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. The enquiries we see most involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and staining on stone next to old sealant, across cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Chipping Ongar it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like Chipping Ongar often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.

Advice
Signs you need facade sealing in Chipping Ongar
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Older buildings in the area around Chipping Ongar, such as Hill Hall, which lies south-west of Chipping Ongar, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Building and refurbishing in Chipping Ongar
Chipping Ongar is about 20 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles to the south-east of Chipping Ongar, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. For a contractor working at a hospital such as St. Margaret's Hospital, 5.2 miles to the west of Chipping Ongar, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Chipping Ongar is about 6 miles north-west of Brentwood, in Essex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Chipping Ongar can call on us for facade joints. Chipping Ongar is one of 644 places in Essex on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page (20 miles or so).

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions about Chipping Ongar
Would you work within a site like St. Margaret's 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 Chipping Ongar off your patch?
No. Places such as Chipping Ongar are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
