From enquiry to sign-off

Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Smaller jobs around Matching Tye can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.

About our facade sealing in Matching Tye
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are leaks at window and door perimeters and cold air coming in at window perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Matching Tye, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Matching Tye is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Essex. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Other services in Matching Tye
Do you need facade sealing in Matching Tye?
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Hastingwood Business Centre (2.5 miles south-west of Matching Tye), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

FAQs: Matching Tye
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Princess Alexandra Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Matching Tye off your patch?
No. Places such as Matching Tye are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
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 you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
New build and refits around Matching Tye
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Matching Tye. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Matching Tye lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Down Hall Hotel, 1.2 miles north-east of Matching Tye, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. With historic properties like Barrington Hall (to the north-east of Matching Tye) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification using a sealant classified for that use.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Around Matching Tye, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
