About our facade sealing in Little Easton
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we are called in for most is cladding panel joints that have opened up and air leaks through failed facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Little Easton, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Little Easton, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints

Is Blue Gates Industrial Park, near Little Easton, within your area?

Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we will plan the work with you.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Little Easton need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Sites and facades in and around Little Easton
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Little Easton. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
With historic properties like Horham Hall (3.5 miles north of Little Easton) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors at a school such as Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows

- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it

Common problems we fix in Little Easton
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
When units on a site such as Blue Gates Industrial Park, 1.9 miles to the south-west of Little Easton, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
