Advice
Facade sealing in Nether Street, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are air leaks through failed facade joints and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Nether Street from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Nether Street 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

FAQs: Nether Street
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Princess Alexandra Hospital, something you do?
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.
Does your area include sites such as Home Farm Industrial Park, near Nether Street?
Yes. We cover Nether Street and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Home Farm Industrial Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Nether Street
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
New wings at hospitals like Princess Alexandra Hospital (to the south of Nether Street) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Mastic packages on Nether Street sites
Nether Street sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Nether Street lies roughly 24 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When a school such as Widford School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace, 2.3 miles north of Nether Street, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Nether Street is about 4 miles east of Ware, in Hertfordshire. Any commercial site in Nether Street is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 371 places in Hertfordshire. For work in that direction, see our London page (24 miles or so).
