Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Older rural buildings around Monkey Street move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

About our facade sealing in Monkey Street
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. 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. If you have unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and water coming in around window frames, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Monkey Street from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites around smaller places like Monkey Street can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Advice
Building and refurbishing in Monkey Street
Monkey Street is about 57 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
For contractors building in or near Monkey Street, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Monkey Street is about 7 miles north-west of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex. Across the CO7 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 644 places in Essex, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for London, about 57 miles away.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.

Signs you need facade sealing in Monkey Street
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
Units on estates such as Plough Road Business Centre (to the south of Monkey Street) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Questions we’re asked in Monkey Street
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Monkey Street?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Monkey Street too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
