What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Facade sealing in Great Kimble, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is patch repairs that keep failing and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. For commercial sealant work in Great Kimble, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Great Kimble, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Great Kimble as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Signs you need facade sealing in Great Kimble
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Water coming in around window frames
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Weston Way Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the north of Great Kimble, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

What else we do in Great Kimble
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Great Kimble, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Questions we’re asked in Great Kimble
Can you work on a hospital site such as The Paddocks Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work at a site such as University Campus Aylesbury Vale fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Building and refurbishing in Great Kimble
Central London is about 35 miles from Great Kimble. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Great Kimble sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.

University estates such as University Campus Aylesbury Vale, 4.5 miles to the north of Great Kimble, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
