Facade sealing for businesses in Merrow
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In a smaller place such as Merrow, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Merrow
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. Site teams most often ask us about cold air coming in at window perimeters and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. Whoever orders the work in Merrow, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions around smaller places like Merrow often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Merrow: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Merrow Business Park, close to Merrow?
Yes. Our area takes in Merrow and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Merrow Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you need facade sealing in Merrow?
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.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Units on estates such as Merrow Business Park (to the north of Merrow) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing

Building and refurbishing in Merrow
The area within 2 miles of Merrow holds several hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Merrow is about 26 miles from central London. 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.
On a healthcare site such as Mount Alvernia Hospital, which lies south-west of Merrow, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Further education sites such as Guildford College, 1.8 miles to the west of Merrow, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. What matters most for a job in Merrow is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
