Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Facade sealing in Picket Piece
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and air leaks through failed facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Picket Piece, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Conversions around smaller places like Picket Piece often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Cost factors for facade joints
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
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.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Picket Piece
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Sites and facades in and around Picket Piece
Central London is about 61 miles from Picket Piece. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Picket Piece is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When a school such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hospital estates such as Andover Hospital (Grounds) (2.4 miles west of Picket Piece) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Walworth Business Park (0.8 miles south-west of Picket Piece) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Picket Piece need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Picket Piece: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Andover Hospital (Grounds)?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does your area include sites such as Walworth Business Park, near Picket Piece?
Yes. Our area takes in Picket Piece and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Walworth Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
