When it isn’t the sealant

  • Replacing glass or failed glazing units
  • Render or concrete edges that have broken away
  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Horseman Side

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 have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Construction in and around smaller places such as Horseman Side is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Quoting for work in Horseman Side

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • The size and state of each joint

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

What we need to price the job

Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • The postcode of the building

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Sites and facades in and around Horseman Side

Rainfall across the South East, Horseman Side 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 17 miles from central London, Horseman Side is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.

Extensions at sites like Suttons Manor Hospital (2.5 miles north-west of Horseman Side) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors at a college like Havering Technical College, 2.2 miles to the south of Horseman Side, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. School extensions, at buildings such as Drapers' Academy, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Horseman Side is about 3 miles north-west of Brentwood, in Essex. Anywhere in CM14, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Essex coverage takes in 644 places. Sites around London have their own page, about 17 miles away.

Anyone looking for facade sealing in CM14 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface

Brick and stone facades

Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.

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.

From enquiry to sign-off

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If others near Horseman Side need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
  2. Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
  3. Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
  4. Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
  5. The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
  6. The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

What we need from you

  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Questions we are asked in Horseman Side

Can work at a site such as Havering Technical College fit around teaching?

Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Is Horseman Side too far out for you?

No. Places such as Horseman Side are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.

Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?

No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.

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 you have public liability insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Can you work in cold or wet weather?

Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.

Looking after the joints

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation
  • Clear debris that holds water against joints
  • Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
  • Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration

Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.

Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.

Why it’s worth doing now in Horseman Side

Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. For buildings around smaller places like Horseman Side, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
