New build and refits around Donkey Town
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 27 miles from Donkey Town. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
University estates such as Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (to the north of Donkey Town) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. On a healthcare site such as The Priory Hospital, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Donkey Town, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

How we handle facade sealing in Donkey Town
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. Most enquiries involve water coming in around window frames and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Donkey Town first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Donkey Town, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Providing access systems for the work
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need facade sealing in Donkey Town
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
Look out for the following:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
For contractors at a school such as Gordon's School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

What else we do in Donkey Town
Donkey Town: questions and answers
Is Donkey Town 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. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building around Donkey Town, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies 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.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close

Related advice
Doing it in-house
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Around Donkey Town, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
