Facade sealing in East Shefford
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have old perimeter mastic that has dried out and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in East Shefford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like East Shefford can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Questions about East Shefford
Which documents can you supply for work in East Shefford?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is East Shefford too far out for you?
Not at all. East Shefford is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in East Shefford
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For contractors at a school such as Shefford C.E. Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What else we do in East Shefford
Why it’s worth doing now in East Shefford
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Around East Shefford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around East Shefford can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
