Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Eddington
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. Most enquiries involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames. For commercial sealant work in Eddington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In a smaller place such as Eddington, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When to call us in Eddington
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Water coming in around window frames
New units and refits on sites such as Eddington Business Park, under half a mile to the north of Eddington, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.

FAQs: Eddington
Does a coastal location like Eddington affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Eddington off your patch?
No. Places such as Eddington are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
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.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will be honest about which it is.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
Facade sealing in Eddington: the local picture
With the shore within about 2 miles, Eddington counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Central London is about 53 miles from Eddington. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Hospital estates such as Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital (to the north-east of Eddington) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Work at a hotel such as The Pier Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north of Eddington, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
