Facade sealing in Lower Nazeing
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are patch repairs that keep failing and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels.

Building work in places the size of Lower Nazeing is typically 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.
Work we carry out in Essex comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Nazeing
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Sites and facades in and around Lower Nazeing
Lower Nazeing is about 17 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Lower Nazeing sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When a college such as Hertford College: Broxbourne Campus (to the south-west of Lower Nazeing) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff. Projects at schools like Nazeing Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. New wings at hospitals like Princess Alexandra Hospital, 3.7 miles to the north-east of Lower Nazeing, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Questions about Lower Nazeing
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Hertford College: Broxbourne Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Lower Nazeing off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
