At about 25 miles from central London, Hitchambury is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.

Facade sealing in Hitchambury
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Most enquiries involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and previous reseals run over old sealant, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hitchambury, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Hitchambury bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Hitchambury
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
On a healthcare site such as St Mark's Hospital, 2.8 miles to the west of Hitchambury, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
What happens if it’s left?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Older rural buildings around Hitchambury move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Hitchambury: questions and answers
Is Marshgate Trading Estate, near Hitchambury, within your area?
Yes, sites like Marshgate Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Hitchambury. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Hitchambury off your patch?
No. Places such as Hitchambury are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Hitchambury, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
