How we handle facade sealing in Drayton
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Drayton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Drayton, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Facade sealing in Drayton: the local picture
Drayton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 54 miles from Drayton. 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 East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. New wings at hospitals like Petersfield Community Hospital (4.7 miles east of Drayton) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, 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.

- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
