How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Grandpont
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Searching for sealant specialists in Grandpont? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Conversions around smaller places like Grandpont often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What else we do in Grandpont
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Building and refurbishing in Grandpont
Grandpont sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Grandpont lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors at a college like City of Oxford College, under half a mile north of Grandpont, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. University estates such as University College (to the north-east of Grandpont) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like Warneford Hospital, 1.8 miles to the east of Grandpont, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. For buildings in places like Grandpont, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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 can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
