Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Share access with other external trades
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Facade sealing in Penton Grafton, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we’ll fit the work around it. Site teams most often ask us about draughts around frames and panels and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Penton Grafton? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In the countryside around places like Penton Grafton, 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 usually what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Smaller jobs around Penton Grafton can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.

Signs you need facade sealing in Penton Grafton
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Draughts around frames and panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
Further education sites such as Andover College, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Penton Grafton, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Questions we are asked in Penton Grafton
Is Penton Grafton off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Andover College?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
