Facade sealing in Hare Green
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Hare Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In the countryside around places like Hare Green, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Sites and facades in and around Hare Green
Hare Green is about 55 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Hare Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When units on a site such as Plough Road Business Centre (2.5 miles south-east of Hare Green) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. For contractors at a school such as St George's Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. University estates such as University of Essex (to the west of Hare Green) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
FAQs: Hare Green
Does your area include sites such as Plough Road Business Centre, near Hare Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hare Green, Plough Road Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can work at a site such as University of Essex fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and 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?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: 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.
What happens if it’s left?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Around Hare Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
