From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Great Shefford are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.

- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.

Nearby places to Great Shefford
Also in Great Shefford
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
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.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When to call us in Great Shefford
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
When a school such as Shefford C.E. Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. For buildings around smaller places like Great Shefford, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Public liability insurance in place
- Colour options checked against the specified product
Questions about Great Shefford
Is Great Shefford off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the mastic package for our job in Great Shefford follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
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.
Facades, frames and programmes in Great Shefford
Great Shefford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions.

Great Shefford is about 58 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.

Doing it in-house
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
