Longcross: questions and answers
Is Longcross too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Longcross
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Longcross, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Longcross, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Older rural buildings around Longcross move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Contractors’ notes for Longcross
At about 23 miles from central London, Longcross is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Longcross included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Botleys Mansion (to the east of Longcross) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For a contractor working at a hospital such as St Peter's Hospital (2.6 miles east of Longcross), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Units on estates such as Hersham Farm Business Park, 1.2 miles east of Longcross, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Longcross is about 4 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Commercial clients in Longcross can call on us for facade joints. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Longcross among them. Reading is covered too, around 18 miles from Longcross.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Share access with other external trades
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.

What affects the price in Longcross
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Longcross are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies 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
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
