Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Facade sealing in Pickhurst, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are discoloured or dirty facade joints and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Pickhurst, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Pickhurst is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Facade sealing around Pickhurst: how the place shapes the job
At about 40 miles from central London, Pickhurst is within reach of the capital. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Work at a hotel such as Chequers Hotel (to the south of Pickhurst) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Broomers Hill Business Park, 1.1 miles east of Pickhurst, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Historic houses such as Old Place Manor (1.2 miles south of Pickhurst) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Cost factors for facade joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Rural sites near Pickhurst may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you

- Send your site hours and access windows

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Pickhurst

What else we do in Pickhurst
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
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.
