About our facade sealing in Glympton
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Glympton tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Glympton bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally 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. For a building around Glympton, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
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.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

Contractors’ notes for Glympton
At about 61 miles from central London, Glympton 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, Glympton 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Older buildings in the area around Glympton, such as Blenheim Palace (3.5 miles south of Glympton), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Sites around Glympton get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Common questions from Glympton clients
Which documents can you supply for work in Glympton?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Glympton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Glympton is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Why it’s worth doing now in Glympton
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Older rural buildings around Glympton move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
