What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
About our facade sealing in Great Notley
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. Site teams most often ask us about draughts around frames and panels and new sealant peeling off old mastic, on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. For commercial sealant work in Great Notley, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around places like Great Notley, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Signs you need facade sealing in Great Notley
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Draughts around frames and panels
On a healthcare site such as Braintree Community Hospital, 1.4 miles north-east of Great Notley, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Work in places the size of Great Notley is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Agree which areas must stay open

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Questions about Great Notley
Can work at a site such as Braintree College fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Great Notley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
