Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Questions we are asked in Firle
Would you work within a site like Lewes Victoria Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Firle too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Firle, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
