When to call us in Netteswell
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Projects at schools like Freshwaters Primary Academy work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Facade sealing in Netteswell
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. Site teams most often ask us about old perimeter mastic that has dried out and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, across stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Netteswell it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions around smaller places like Netteswell often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Work we carry out in Essex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Facades, frames and programmes in Netteswell
The area within 2 miles of Netteswell holds a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Netteswell is about 21 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.
On a healthcare site such as Princess Alexandra Hospital, which lies west of Netteswell, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When a college such as Harlow College (less than half a mile west of Netteswell) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
Netteswell is about 1 mile west of Harlow, in Essex. We cover commercial sites throughout Netteswell. 644 places across Essex fall within our area, Netteswell among them. For work in that direction, see our London page (21 miles or so).
Anyone looking for facade sealing in CM20, CM18 and CM19 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Among the streets we cover are Park Lane, School Lane and Maddox Road. Netteswell sits on or close to the A1019, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. We also cover Harlow (1 mile east), Mark Hall South (1 mile east), Mark Hall North (1 mile north-east), Latton (1 mile south-east) and Bush Fair (1 mile south) for facade joints. A short drive away, we cover Brentwood (13 miles south-east), Loughton (9 miles south), Waltham Abbey (7 miles south-west), Great Dunmow (13 miles north-east), Epping (5 miles south) and Stansted Mountfitchet (10 miles north-east).

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Work in places the size of Netteswell is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What else we do in Netteswell
Building owners, agents and FMs in Netteswell
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Harlow College fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Netteswell off your patch?
Not at all. Netteswell is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings in places like Netteswell, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
