Facade sealing for businesses in Fryerning

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Doing it in-house

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Fryerning

We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Fryerning, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Around smaller places like Fryerning, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

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.

Owners, agents and contractors

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

What the job involves on each surface

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.

Render and coated surfaces

Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.

Keeping the joints sound

After handover, a little attention goes a long way:

  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
  • Combine resealing with other works that need access
  • Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
  • Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed

Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.

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.

Your questions answered

Is a smaller place like Fryerning outside your area?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Mayflower Community Hospital?

Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

How much does the work cost?

It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.

Do you replace failed glazing units?

No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.

Is colour matching possible?

Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

What site paperwork can you supply?

Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:

  • Render or concrete edges that have broken away
  • Work on the window or framing system itself
  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Shopfront frames

Facades, frames and programmes in Fryerning

Central London is about 24 miles from Fryerning. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Fryerning sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

Older buildings in the area around Fryerning, such as Ingatestone Hall, which lies south-east of Fryerning, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New wings at hospitals like Mayflower Community Hospital, 4.2 miles to the south of Fryerning, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. On a campus such as Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus, which lies north of Fryerning, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Smaller jobs around Fryerning can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
  5. Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
  6. We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
