Facade sealing in Littleton, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you are dealing with facade joints cracked through the middle and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Littleton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Littleton bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Littleton, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Why it’s worth doing now in Littleton
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. Older rural buildings around Littleton move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Littleton
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
Building work at universities like University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus (to the north of Littleton) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Mastic packages on Littleton sites
Littleton lies roughly 29 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. A 2-mile radius around Littleton takes in a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Work at a hotel such as Asperion Hotel, 1.4 miles north-east of Littleton, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors at a college like Guildford College, 2.4 miles north-east of Littleton, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Questions we are asked in Littleton
Can work at a site such as University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Littleton off your patch?
No. Places such as Littleton are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
