Facade sealing in Howt Green, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are previous reseals run over old sealant and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Howt Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Howt Green 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually 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. If others near Howt Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Why deal with it now?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Converted and older buildings near places like Howt Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why us?
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Howt Green: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Howt Green, such as Newington Enterprise Centre?
Yes. We cover Howt Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Newington Enterprise Centre. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Our building in Howt Green is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
