Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and leaks at window and door perimeters, across coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Mastic packages on Lane End sites
Lane End sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. At about 61 miles from central London, Lane End is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Work at a hotel such as Linnets Hotel (to the south-east of Lane End) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When a school such as Kirby Primary Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Rice Bridge Industrial Estate (1.9 miles west of Lane End) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Lane End may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
