Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Facade sealing in Freezywater, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. The enquiries we see most involve hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and air leaks through failed facade joints, across cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Freezywater, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is usually one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Freezywater as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
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.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.

What the job involves on each surface

Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather.
