Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Coleman Green are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Advice
Facade sealing in Coleman Green
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Coleman Green. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Coleman Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Coleman Green, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Facade sealing around Coleman Green: what changes locally
Rainfall across the South East, Coleman Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Coleman Green is about 22 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
School extensions, at buildings such as Beech Hyde Primary School and Nursery, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Further education sites such as Oaklands College (to the south of Coleman Green) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Coleman Green is about 3 miles north-west of Hatfield, in Hertfordshire. Across the AL4 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need facade sealing in Coleman Green?
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
For contractors on a campus like University of Hertfordshire, 3.4 miles south-east of Coleman Green, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

FAQs: Coleman Green
Is Coleman Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as One Hatfield Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
