Questions we’re asked in Lexden
Is Lexden too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Stanway Retail Park, near Lexden, within your area?
Yes. We cover Lexden and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stanway Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.

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. If you’re dealing with sealant pulling away from frames or panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Lexden? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Conversions around smaller places like Lexden often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Lexden need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Lexden can form part of a wider programme.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facade sealing around Lexden: what changes locally
At about 49 miles from central London, Lexden is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Lexden sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When units on a site such as Stanway Retail Park, 1 mile to the west of Lexden, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Oaks Hospital, which lies north-east of Lexden, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors on a campus like University of Essex, which lies east of Lexden, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Lexden is about 1 mile west of Colchester, in Essex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lexden can call on us for facade joints, as part of our coverage of Essex. Lexden is one of 644 places in Essex on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page (49 miles or so).

Quoting for work in Lexden

- Site requirements such as inductions and permits

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
