Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Facade sealing in Nine Ashes
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is facade joints cracked through the middle and cold air coming in at window perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Nine Ashes first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In the countryside around places like Nine Ashes, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Brentwood Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Facade sealing around Nine Ashes: how the place shapes the job
Nine Ashes sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 22 miles from Nine Ashes. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Units on estates such as Hallsford Bridge Industrial Estate (to the west of Nine Ashes) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall, 4.6 miles to the south-east of Nine Ashes, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Advice
Do you need facade sealing in Nine Ashes?
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Brentwood Community Hospital (5.4 miles south of Nine Ashes), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
