About our facade sealing in Great Totham
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and patch repairs that keep failing. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Great Totham tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Conversions around smaller places like Great Totham often join new frames to old masonry or timber, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Get the joint design right when resealing: 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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
What we seal

Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Facade sealing in Great Totham: the local picture
Great Totham sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. At about 39 miles from central London, Great Totham is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like The Causeway Industrial Estate (2.4 miles south of Great Totham) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Great Totham Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Great Totham is about 3 miles south-east of Witham, in Essex. Looking for facade sealing in Great Totham? We can help, as we do across Essex. Great Totham is one of 644 places in Essex on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page.

Why deal with it now?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure. Small buildings around Great Totham suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Great Totham: questions and answers
Can the mastic package for our job in Great Totham follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Great Totham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Work in places the size of Great Totham is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
