Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Emery Down
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and facade joints cracked through the middle. Most enquiries from Emery Down start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Emery Down, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Questions we’re asked in Emery Down
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Emery Down?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Would you work within a site like Ashurst Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
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.
Do you work in Emery Down?
Yes. Emery Down is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Around Emery Down, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

New build and refits around Emery Down
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Emery Down. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
School extensions, at buildings such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Work at a hotel such as The Crown Manor House Hotel, under half a mile east of Emery Down, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Common problems we fix in Emery Down
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Draughts around frames and panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Ashurst Hospital, which lies north-east of Emery Down, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint.
