About our facade sealing in Long Ditton
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are leaks at window and door perimeters and facade joints cracked through the middle. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Long Ditton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places like Long Ditton, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Long Ditton clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Long Ditton, such as Fairfield Trade Park?
Yes, sites like Fairfield Trade Park are within our area, along with the rest of Long Ditton. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Long Ditton too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Long Ditton are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.

What else we do in Long Ditton
What we are called out for in Long Ditton
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Units on estates such as Fairfield Trade Park, 1.7 miles to the north-east of Long Ditton, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Long Ditton can form part of a wider programme across Surrey.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Doing it in-house
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
