Facade sealing in Jaywick, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Jaywick is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions around smaller places like Jaywick often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What else we do in Jaywick
Facades, frames and programmes in Jaywick
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Jaywick. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Rainfall across the South East, Jaywick 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.
For contractors at a college like Adult Community College Clacton (1.8 miles north-east of Jaywick), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. For contractors at a school such as Sir Martin Frobisher Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Units on estates such as Newman Industrial Estate (1.7 miles north-east of Jaywick) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Jaywick is about 2 miles south-west of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex. We cover commercial sites throughout Jaywick, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Jaywick is one of 644 places we cover in Essex. Our London page has more on work in that area.

FAQs: Jaywick
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Adult Community College Clacton?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Clacton Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Do you cover Jaywick?
Yes. We cover Jaywick, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Jaywick need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Jaywick. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
