How we handle facade sealing in Howe Hill
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, and we will fit the work around it. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters.

Around smaller places like Howe Hill, building work usually 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Howe Hill
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Halls, stores and units around places like Howe Hill may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames

Signs you need facade sealing in Howe Hill
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Watlington Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the north-west of Howe Hill, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Sites and facades in and around Howe Hill
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Howe Hill is about 39 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Historic houses such as Stonor Park, 3.2 miles to the south-east of Howe Hill, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. When a school such as Icknield Community College is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Howe Hill, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows

Questions we’re asked in Howe Hill
Will you take on work at estates like Watlington Industrial Estate, close to Howe Hill?
Yes, sites like Watlington Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Howe Hill. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Howe Hill too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
