Need facade sealing in Great Bentley?
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Specification-led, product-correct work

How we handle facade sealing in Great Bentley
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you are dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Great Bentley tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around places like Great Bentley, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:

- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:

Facade sealing around Great Bentley: points for this area
Great Bentley 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, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Great Bentley lies roughly 56 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Plough Road Business Centre, under half a mile south of Great Bentley, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For contractors at a school such as Great Bentley Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. With historic properties like Thorpe Hall, 4.4 miles east of Great Bentley, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
