Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Manuden need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows

How we handle facade sealing in Manuden
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. 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. If you’re dealing with perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Manuden, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites around smaller places like Manuden can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Mastic packages on Manuden sites
At about 31 miles from central London, Manuden is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. A 2-mile radius around Manuden takes in several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Units on estates such as Alsa Business Park (to the east of Manuden) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at colleges like Arthur Findlay College, 2.6 miles to the south-east of Manuden, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Manuden is about 4 miles north of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. Commercial clients in Manuden can call on us for facade joints. Manuden is one of 644 places in Essex on our list. London is covered too, some 31 miles away.
We take on facade joints across the CM23 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. For a building on The Street, Watts Yard and Mailers Lane or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. If your building is just outside Manuden, we cover Mount Pleasant (1 mile west), Bentfield Green (1 mile south-east), Uppend (1 mile west), Farnham (2 miles south-west) and Stansted Mountfitchet (2 miles south-east). Nearby towns on our patch include Harlow (11 miles south), Saffron Walden (8 miles north-east), Great Dunmow (9 miles east), Epping (15 miles south), Newhall (10 miles south) and Elsenham (3 miles east).
Around Manuden
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Yew Tree Inn. The nearest railway station is Stansted Mountfitchet station, about 2 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include House On The Hill Toy Museum (1.9 miles south-east) and Moated mound (3.2 miles south-west). Not far away are Aubrey Buxton Nature Reserve and Portingbury Hills.
Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints

Manuden: questions and answers
Is Manuden too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Arthur Findlay College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
What we’re called out for in Manuden
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
On a healthcare site such as Herts and Essex Hospital (3.8 miles south of Manuden), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
