High Beech: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near High Beech, such as Warlies Business Park?
Yes, sites like Warlies Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of High Beech. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like High Beech outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How we handle facade sealing in High Beech
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you have unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can put it right. Most enquiries from High Beech start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like High Beech, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

New build and refits around High Beech
At about 13 miles from central London, High Beech is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, High Beech included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like High Beech CofE Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For contractors at a college like New City College, which lies south-east of High Beech, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Advice
What we’re called out for in High Beech
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Older buildings in the area around High Beech, such as Forty Hall, 4.4 miles west of High Beech, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their public liability cover
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Converted and older buildings near places like High Beech tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
