Facade sealing in Marlow Bottom, done properly
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 cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames alike. For commercial sealant work in Marlow Bottom, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Marlow Bottom, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Marlow Bottom outside your area?
Not at all. Marlow Bottom is within our area. 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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Marlow Bottom, such as Globe Business Park?
Yes, sites like Globe Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Marlow Bottom. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
Facade sealing in Marlow Bottom: the local picture
Marlow Bottom is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Marlow Bottom lies roughly 30 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Chequers Hotel, which lies south of Marlow Bottom, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Marlow Community Hospital, which lies south of Marlow Bottom, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
