Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job.

Building and refurbishing in Great Parndon
At about 19 miles from central London, Great Parndon is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. A 2-mile radius around Great Parndon takes in several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
When a college such as Harlow College, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Great Parndon, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. Units on estates such as Harlow Business Centre (0.5 miles north of Great Parndon) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Princess Alexandra Hospital, 1 mile north of Great Parndon, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a site in Great Parndon, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Common questions from Great Parndon clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Harlow College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Great Parndon too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. For buildings in places like Great Parndon, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
