Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Gubbion's Green can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Essex.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Gubbion's Green
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. The enquiries we see most involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. For commercial sealant work in Gubbion's Green, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Gubbion's Green is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Signs you need facade sealing in Gubbion's Green
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Water coming in around window frames
Projects at schools like Great Leighs Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Gubbion's Green. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Contractors’ notes for Gubbion's Green
Rainfall across the South East, Gubbion's Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Gubbion's Green lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Hospital estates such as William Julien Courtauld Hospital (to the north of Gubbion's Green) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Banters Lane Business Park, less than half a mile to the north-west of Gubbion's Green, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
