Facade sealing for businesses in Gartmore
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Gartmore, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

About our facade sealing in Gartmore
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, 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 it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts around frames and panels, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Gartmore tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site around Gartmore, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What we’re called out for in Gartmore
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Work at a hotel such as Black Bull Hotel, under half a mile south-west of Gartmore, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What site paperwork they can supply
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

What else we do in Gartmore
What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Around smaller places like Gartmore, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit

Common questions from Gartmore clients
Can the mastic package for our job in Gartmore follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Gartmore?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
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.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What will the job 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.
