Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Lee Gate may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

About our facade sealing in Lee Gate
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new sealant peeling off old mastic and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. Whoever orders the work in Lee Gate, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites around smaller places like Lee Gate can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Signs you need facade sealing in Lee Gate
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
With historic properties like Cholesbury Manor House (to the north-east of Lee Gate) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
FAQs: Lee Gate
Is Lee Gate off your patch?
Not at all. Lee Gate is within our area. 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.
Does your area include sites such as Station Approach Business Park, near Lee Gate?
Yes. Our area takes in Lee Gate and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Station Approach Business Park included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Facades, frames and programmes in Lee Gate
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 31 miles from Lee Gate. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
On a healthcare site such as Chiltern Hospital, which lies south of Lee Gate, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Station Approach Business Park (2.7 miles north-west of Lee Gate), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Our quote form is another easy route.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
