Facade sealing in Chipstead
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Chipstead it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site near Chipstead, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

New build and refits around Chipstead

Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
New wings at hospitals like Sevenoaks Hospital (to the east of Chipstead) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Salters Heath Business Centre (to the south-east of Chipstead) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

What we are called out for in Chipstead
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Projects at schools like Amherst School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Questions about Chipstead
Will you take on work at estates like Salters Heath Business Centre, close to Chipstead?
Yes, sites like Salters Heath Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Chipstead. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Sevenoaks 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 Chipstead in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Chipstead, and the same phone number covers every area.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Commercial clients in Chipstead
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Chipstead, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
