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 first.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Easthorpe
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, across window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Easthorpe? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Easthorpe 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.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Easthorpe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

Questions we’re asked in Easthorpe
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Essex County Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Threshelfords Business Park, near Easthorpe, within your area?
Yes. We cover Easthorpe and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Threshelfords Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Facade sealing in Easthorpe: the local picture
The area within 2 miles of Easthorpe holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. At about 45 miles from central London, Easthorpe is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
With historic properties like Layer Marney Tower (2.7 miles south of Easthorpe) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Extensions at sites like Essex County Hospital (to the east of Easthorpe) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Units on estates such as Threshelfords Business Park (to the south-west of Easthorpe) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
