Facade sealing in Coombe
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. The enquiries we see most involve patch repairs that keep failing and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Coombe, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Coombe is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Facade sealing around Coombe: what changes locally
At about 62 miles from central London, Coombe is within reach of the capital. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, 3.5 miles to the south-west of Coombe, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Units on estates such as Birnham Farm Business Centre, 0.8 miles south of Coombe, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Lion Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north-west of Coombe, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
What affects the price in Coombe
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
