That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How we handle facade sealing in Great Hollands
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. 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. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Great Hollands?

What else we do in Great Hollands
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Great Hollands
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For a job in Great Hollands, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- 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.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
When to call us in Great Hollands
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
On a healthcare site such as Broadmoor Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south of Great Hollands, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

New build and refits around Great Hollands
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 30 miles from central London, Great Hollands is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a college like Newbold College of Higher Education, 1.9 miles north of Great Hollands, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Projects at schools like Great Hollands Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
