Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
How we handle facade sealing in Fingest
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you’re dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Fingest, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Fingest bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Mastic packages on Fingest sites
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Fingest lies roughly 35 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.
When a school such as Cadmore End CofE School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Historic houses such as Stonor Park (to the south-west of Fingest) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. New wings at hospitals like Wycombe Hospital, 5.4 miles to the east of Fingest, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

What else we do in Fingest
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. If others near Fingest need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we seal

- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Fingest. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fingest
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. For buildings around smaller places like Fingest, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Common questions from Fingest clients
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Fingest?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wycombe Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
