Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have new sealant peeling off old mastic and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can help, on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters alike.

Building and refurbishing in Churchgate
A 2-mile radius around Churchgate takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Churchgate sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
New wings at hospitals like Cheshunt Community Hospital, 0.8 miles south-east of Churchgate, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Units on estates such as Theobalds Enterprise Centre (to the south of Churchgate) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

When to call us in Churchgate
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
Projects at colleges like Capel Manor College, 1.7 miles to the south of Churchgate, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions about Churchgate
Can you work at a site such as Theobalds Enterprise Centre, by Churchgate?
Yes. Our area takes in Churchgate and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Theobalds Enterprise Centre included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Cheshunt Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you cover Churchgate?
Yes. Sites across Churchgate are covered.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll tell you which.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Churchgate need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Related advice
Why act early in Churchgate
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
