Advice
Facade sealing in Lamb Corner
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and failed sealant on precast panel joints.

In the countryside around places like Lamb Corner, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Commercial clients in Lamb Corner
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Lamb Corner: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Blue Barns Business Park, near Lamb Corner?
Yes, sites like Blue Barns Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Lamb Corner. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can work at a site such as University of Essex fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you cover Lamb Corner?
Yes. Lamb Corner falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
