What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

Contractors’ notes for Folly Town
At about 52 miles from central London, Folly Town is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Folly Town included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital, 3.6 miles to the south-west of Folly Town, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Folly Town outside your area?
No. Places such as Folly Town are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we will ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Signs you need facade sealing in Folly Town
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
Projects at schools like Wye School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they’ll work around occupants
For managing agents and facilities managers
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Rural sites near Folly Town may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected

General trades versus a specialist
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 typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
