About our facade sealing in Fogwatt
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have damp patches beside frames after rain and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Fogwatt? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
External sealing around Fogwatt depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fogwatt
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Around smaller places like Fogwatt, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.

Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
When to call us in Fogwatt
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Dr Gray's Hospital, 3.8 miles to the north-west of Fogwatt, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
