When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in East Burnham
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are patch repairs that keep failing and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Most enquiries from East Burnham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like East Burnham, 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 normally what’s needed.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Sites and facades in and around East Burnham
Central London is about 23 miles from East Burnham. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The area within 2 miles of East Burnham holds several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Burnham Beeches Hotel, 1 mile to the south-west of East Burnham, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a healthcare site such as Spire Thames Valley Hospital, 2.4 miles to the east of East Burnham, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors at a school such as Caldicott School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
What affects the price in East Burnham
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

- Your programme or deadline

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Common questions from East Burnham clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Spire Thames Valley Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is East Burnham off your patch?
Not at all. East Burnham is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
