About our facade sealing in Elsenham
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is old perimeter mastic that has dried out and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation. For commercial sealant work in Elsenham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around places like Elsenham, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Mastic packages on Elsenham sites
Elsenham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 32 miles from central London, Elsenham is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Golds Nursery Business Park, less than half a mile north of Elsenham, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. School extensions, at buildings such as Forest Hall School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Elsenham is about 4 miles north-east of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. Our applicators travel to Elsenham for work on facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Elsenham is one of 644 places we cover in Essex. We also cover London, around 32 miles from Elsenham.
Commercial sites across CM22 are covered for facade joints. For a building on Station Road, High Street and Isabel Drive or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for facade joints. Just outside Elsenham, we also work in Fuller's End (1 mile south-east), Ugley Green (1 mile north-west), Henham (2 miles north-east), Ugley (2 miles north-west) and Brick End (3 miles east). A short drive away, we cover Braintree (14 miles east), Harlow (11 miles south-west), Saffron Walden (7 miles north), Great Dunmow (6 miles south-east), Great Notley (13 miles east) and Bocking (14 miles east).
Around Elsenham
We work on buildings around Robin Hood Public House and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Elsenham itself: Elsenham station. Well-known places in the area include House On The Hill Toy Museum (1.3 miles south-west) and Little Easton Moat (4.8 miles south-east). Not far away are Aubrey Buxton Nature Reserve and Portingbury Hills.
Do you need facade sealing in Elsenham?
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Further education sites such as Arthur Findlay College, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Elsenham, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Comparing quotes
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a site in Elsenham, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification using a sealant classified for that use.
Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How accessible the joints are
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 to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A good quote starts with a clear picture: 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.
Common questions from Elsenham clients
Is a hospital such as Herts and Essex Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Elsenham outside your area?
No. Places such as Elsenham are covered as much as the big 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.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
