Facade sealing in Edney Common, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals run over old sealant and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Edney Common from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site near Edney Common, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Contractors’ notes for Edney Common
Edney Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 26 miles from central London, Edney Common is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
University estates such as Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus, 1.5 miles to the north-east of Edney Common, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Edney Common, such as Hylands (2 miles east of Edney Common), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Edney Common is about 4 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex.

Questions about Edney Common
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Chelmsford and Essex Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Edney Common too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
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.
Why act early in Edney Common
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Halls, stores and units around places like Edney Common may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Signs you need facade sealing in Edney Common
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.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
New wings at hospitals like Chelmsford and Essex Hospital (to the east of Edney Common) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
