Facade sealing in Etteridge, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Site teams most often ask us about leaks at window and door perimeters and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, across shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Etteridge first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Etteridge can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Etteridge. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Etteridge. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we review photos, 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.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Etteridge: questions and answers
Is Etteridge off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which documents can you supply for work in Etteridge?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
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.
