What affects the price in Letchworth
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
Facade sealing in Letchworth
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. 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 leaks at window and door perimeters and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Whoever orders the work in Letchworth, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In towns like Letchworth, sites are typically modest: small housing schemes, extensions to schools and surgeries, refurbished shops and offices. A mastic package on a smaller site still needs the same care at window perimeters and facade joints.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the job changes by surface
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 without tearing.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Most work in Letchworth is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. We start with your photographs, drawings or a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
Do you need facade sealing in Letchworth?
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
When a college such as North Hertfordshire College - Hitchin Campus (2.2 miles south-west of Letchworth) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions we’re asked in Letchworth
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Pinehill Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like North Hertfordshire College - Hitchin Campus?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
That 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.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work in Letchworth?
Yes. We take on work across Letchworth.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Letchworth
Facade sealing around Letchworth: points for this area
Letchworth sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Letchworth lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. 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.
When units on a site such as Letchworth Gateway Retail Park (to the east of Letchworth) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Broadway Hotel, which lies west of Letchworth, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Letchworth is about 5 miles north of Stevenage, in Hertfordshire. If you’re looking for facade sealing in Letchworth, we can help. We work across 371 places in Hertfordshire, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for London, about 34 miles away.
