About our facade sealing in Great Canney
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. Site teams most often ask us about facade joints cracked through the middle and previous reseals run over old sealant, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. For commercial sealant work in Great Canney, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Great Canney is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Common questions from Great Canney clients
Will you take on work at estates like Great Hayes Business Centre, close to Great Canney?
Yes. Our area takes in Great Canney and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Great Hayes Business Centre included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can the mastic package for our job in Great Canney follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we will ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Contractors’ notes for Great Canney
Great Canney sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Great Canney lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Units on estates such as Great Hayes Business Centre (to the south of Great Canney) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Cold Norton Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For work around Great Canney, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
