Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we’ll fit the work around it. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and air leaks through failed facade joints, on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.

What else we do in Little Leighs
Commercial clients in Little Leighs
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a building around Little Leighs, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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

When to call us in Little Leighs
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Look out for the following:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
When a school such as Great Leighs Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

What affects the price in Little Leighs
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote

- A wide shot and a close-up of the area

Questions we are asked in Little Leighs
Will you take on work at estates like Banters Lane Business Park, close to Little Leighs?
Yes. We cover Little Leighs and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Banters Lane Business Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Broomfield Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Contractors’ notes for Little Leighs
Little Leighs sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Little Leighs lies roughly 34 miles out from central London. 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.
When units on a site such as Banters Lane Business Park (1.2 miles north-east of Little Leighs) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hospital estates such as Broomfield Hospital, 3.5 miles to the south-west of Little Leighs, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
