Facade sealing in Fickleshole
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. If you have air leaks through failed facade joints and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can help, on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Fickleshole, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Fickleshole, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

General trades versus a 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.
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.
New build and refits around Fickleshole
Fickleshole lies roughly 13 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Fickleshole 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, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Projects at schools like Fairchildes Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Older buildings in the area around Fickleshole, such as Down House, 2.6 miles east of Fickleshole, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Fickleshole is about 5 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Anywhere in CR6, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Fickleshole among them. London is covered too, around 13 miles from Fickleshole.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building around Fickleshole, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What we’re called out for in Fickleshole
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: 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:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Further education sites such as John Ruskin College (2.3 miles north-west of Fickleshole) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Questions we are asked in Fickleshole
Could you schedule work at a campus like John Ruskin College for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Fickleshole too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
