Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Feering
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and patch repairs that keep failing.

Common problems we fix in Feering
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Threshelfords Business Park, under half a mile to the south-east of Feering, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits

- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Halls, stores and units around places like Feering may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

New build and refits around Feering
Rainfall across the South East, Feering included, is lower than in many 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. Central London is about 42 miles from Feering. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a school such as Feering Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. With historic properties like Layer Marney Tower, 3.8 miles south-east of Feering, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Common questions from Feering clients
Can you keep pace with our programme in Feering?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Feering too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us, describe the access.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Feering, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
