What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
Facade sealing in Housham Tye, done properly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can help, on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Housham Tye, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Housham Tye 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

FAQs: Housham Tye
Will you take on work at estates like Harlow Innovation Park, close to Housham Tye?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Housham Tye, Harlow Innovation Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Housham Tye outside your area?
Not at all. Housham Tye is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
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.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Do you need facade sealing in Housham Tye?
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.
Look out for the following:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
When a school such as Mark Hall School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
