Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. For buildings near Longbar, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Facade sealing in Longbar, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Site teams most often ask us about weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Longbar, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites near smaller places like Longbar can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Longbar as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Longbar, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Your questions answered
Can the mastic package for our job in Longbar follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Which documents can you supply for work in Longbar?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Do you need facade sealing in Longbar?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Hotels like Saracen's Head Hotel (1.5 miles north-east of Longbar) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
