Facade sealing for Inkpen Common sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Older rural buildings around Inkpen Common move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Inkpen Common
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you are dealing with weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Inkpen Common it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Inkpen Common, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions we are asked in Inkpen Common
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Inkpen Common?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Which documents can you supply for work in Inkpen Common?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:

- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away

New build and refits around Inkpen Common
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 59 miles from central London, Inkpen Common is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
When a school such as Inkpen Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Older buildings in the area around Inkpen Common, such as Stargroves, which lies south-east of Inkpen Common, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building around Inkpen Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows
