How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Several jobs near Colden Common can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Facade sealing in Colden Common
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is patch repairs that keep failing and air leaks through failed facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Colden Common, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Colden Common, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Quoting for work in Colden Common
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Share access with other external trades
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Facade sealing around Colden Common: points for this area
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Colden Common. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. At about 63 miles from central London, Colden Common is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Hospital estates such as Wessex Hospital (1.8 miles west of Colden Common) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Wessex Business Park, less than half a mile to the south-east of Colden Common, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hotels like Marwell Hotel, 1.4 miles to the east of Colden Common, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Colden Common: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Wessex Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Colden Common outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs 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?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you phone 01277 525 020 or email us, describe the access.
