Facade sealing in Mugswell
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. If you have facade joints cracked through the middle and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Mugswell, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Mugswell can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Signs you need facade sealing in Mugswell
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Building work at universities like University for the Creative Arts - Epsom (to the north-west of Mugswell) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Mugswell are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
New build and refits around Mugswell
Mugswell has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Mugswell is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Projects at schools like Kingswood Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For contractors at a college like Reigate College, 2.7 miles to the south of Mugswell, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Mugswell is about 3 miles north of Reigate, in Surrey. Commercial clients in Mugswell use us for work on facade joints. We work across 379 places in Surrey, large and small. There’s a separate page for London, about 16 miles away.

What we can’t put right

- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Mugswell: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Headley Court?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Mugswell too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Mugswell is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Places near Mugswell
What else we do in Mugswell
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
