Facade sealing in Christmas Common, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Christmas Common ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Christmas Common 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.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Christmas Common is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Halls, stores and units around places like Christmas Common may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

New build and refits around Christmas Common
Central London is about 39 miles from Christmas Common. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Christmas Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like Icknield Community College work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New units and refits on sites such as Watlington Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles north-west of Christmas Common, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Christmas Common: questions and answers
Is Christmas Common too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Christmas Common?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. If others near Christmas Common need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification using a sealant classified for that use.

Signs you need facade sealing in Christmas Common
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
With historic properties like Stonor Park (to the south-east of Christmas Common) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
