How the job changes by surface
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.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Hawley
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and water coming in around window frames, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hawley it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around places like Hawley, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Hawley
Why it’s worth doing now in Hawley
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Hawley: questions and answers
Can work at a site such as The Sixth Form College Farnborough fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Frimley Park Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Do you work in Hawley?
Yes. We cover Hawley, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Facade sealing around Hawley: points for this area
Hawley lies roughly 32 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Hawley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as The Meadows Business Park, less than half a mile north of Hawley, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. When a school such as Hawley Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For contractors at a college like The Sixth Form College Farnborough, 1.8 miles south-east of Hawley, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
