Facade sealing in North Heath, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you’re dealing with new sealant peeling off old mastic and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in North Heath it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like North Heath, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Sites and facades in and around North Heath
North Heath 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. North Heath lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Further education sites such as Brinsbury College, 0.6 miles north of North Heath, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Broomers Hill Business Park, which lies south-west of North Heath, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Questions about North Heath
Can work at a site such as Brinsbury College fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is North Heath too far out for you?
Not at all. North Heath is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What affects the price in North Heath
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Common problems we fix in North Heath
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
With historic properties like Old Place Manor (to the south-west of North Heath) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. 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. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Share access with other external trades
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
