How we handle facade sealing in Knaphill
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured or dirty facade joints and damp patches beside frames after rain, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Knaphill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places like Knaphill, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Facade sealing in Knaphill: the local picture
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Knaphill. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Rainfall across the South East, Knaphill included, is lower than in many 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.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Gorse Hill Hotel, 1.5 miles to the south-east of Knaphill, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When a school such as Knaphill School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
When to call us in Knaphill
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
On a campus such as University of Surrey, which lies south of Knaphill, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Questions about Knaphill
Is Knaphill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Surrey for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.

Before you send an enquiry

Why act early in Knaphill
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Small buildings around Knaphill suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
