Questions we’re asked in Nutbourne
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Brinsbury College?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Nutbourne off your patch?
Not at all. Nutbourne is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
About our facade sealing in Nutbourne
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you have draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Nutbourne, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In the countryside around places like Nutbourne, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Nutbourne
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Older buildings in the area around Nutbourne, such as Old Place Manor, which lies west of Nutbourne, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For work around Nutbourne, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
