Facade sealing in Long Crendon
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and draughts around frames and panels. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Long Crendon tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Building work in places the size of Long Crendon is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Signs you need facade sealing in Long Crendon
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Extensions at sites like Thame Community Hospital (to the south-east of Long Crendon) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Share access with other external trades
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. What matters most for a job in Long Crendon is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
Common questions from Long Crendon clients
Will you take on work at estates like Crendon Industrial Estate, close to Long Crendon?
Yes. We cover Long Crendon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Crendon Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Thame Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
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.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
