Facade sealing in Maplehurst
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is facade joints cracked through the middle and failed sealant on precast panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Maplehurst from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Maplehurst, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Your questions answered
Is Maplehurst off your patch?
No. Places such as Maplehurst are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Horsham Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Maplehurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Sites and facades in and around Maplehurst
Maplehurst sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 35 miles from Maplehurst. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
School extensions, at buildings such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Horsham Hospital, 4.3 miles north of Maplehurst, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
When to call us in Maplehurst
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
