Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Hog Hatch
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are air leaks through failed facade joints and previous reseals run over old sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hog Hatch, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places like Hog Hatch, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Hog Hatch as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Several jobs near Hog Hatch can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
What we’re called out for in Hog Hatch
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Riverside Business Park, 1.2 miles south-east of Hog Hatch, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. For buildings in places like Hog Hatch, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Mastic packages on Hog Hatch sites
Rainfall across the South East, Hog Hatch 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, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. At about 36 miles from central London, Hog Hatch is within reach of the capital. 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.
Work at a hotel such as The Bush Hotel (1.2 miles south of Hog Hatch) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Hospital estates such as Farnham Community Hospital, 1.3 miles south-east of Hog Hatch, 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.

Hog Hatch: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Farnham Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work at a site such as University for the Creative Arts fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Quoting for work in Hog Hatch
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
