Facade sealing in Knapp, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. Most enquiries from Knapp start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Knapp can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

Why act early in Knapp
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Knapp, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.

Facade sealing around Knapp: points for this area
Knapp is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. A 2-mile radius around Knapp takes in a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Units on estates such as Sleepy Hollow Business Park, 0.7 miles west of Knapp, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like Wessex Hospital, 2.9 miles to the east of Knapp, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

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. Smaller jobs around Knapp can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open

Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Knapp can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Common problems we fix in Knapp
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Projects at schools like Ampfield Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
FAQs: Knapp
Will you take on work at estates like Sleepy Hollow Business Park, close to Knapp?
Yes. We cover Knapp and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Sleepy Hollow Business Park. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Knapp too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
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.
