Facade sealing in Finkley Down, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. 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. The enquiries we see most involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, across coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Finkley Down it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Finkley Down, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Share access with other external trades
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Finkley Down. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
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, with masked edges for a clean line.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Finkley Down are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Look out for the following:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Water coming in around window frames
- Staining on stone next to old sealant

Questions we’re asked in Finkley Down
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Andover Hospital (Grounds), something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Walworth Business Park, near Finkley Down?
Yes. We cover Finkley Down and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Walworth Business Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
