Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Glebe Farm can form part of a wider programme across Milton Keynes.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Glebe Farm
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Glebe Farm first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places like Glebe Farm, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.

Advice
FAQs: Glebe Farm
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as The Open University?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Wavendon Business Park, near Glebe Farm?
Yes. Our area takes in Glebe Farm and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Wavendon Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Share access with other external trades
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Why act early in Glebe Farm
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In a smaller place such as Glebe Farm, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Building and refurbishing in Glebe Farm
Glebe Farm sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Glebe Farm. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
New units and refits on sites such as Wavendon Business Park (0.6 miles south-west of Glebe Farm) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
