How we handle facade sealing in Great Waltham
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. We work on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cold air coming in at window perimeters and failed sealant on precast panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Great Waltham from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Great Waltham is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Great Waltham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. 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.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Questions about Great Waltham
Can you work at a site such as Regiment Business Park, by Great Waltham?
Yes. We cover Great Waltham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Regiment Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Broomfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

Do you need facade sealing in Great Waltham?
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
New wings at hospitals like Broomfield Hospital (1.3 miles south of Great Waltham) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
