Your questions answered
Is Plaitford Green too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Gardeners Business Park, close to Plaitford Green?
Yes. We cover Plaitford Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gardeners Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Plaitford Green
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. Most enquiries involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and previous reseals run over old sealant, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Plaitford Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Plaitford Green, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Facade sealing in Plaitford Green: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Plaitford Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Plaitford Green. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
On a healthcare site such as Romsey Community Hospital, which lies east of Plaitford Green, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Gardeners Business Park (to the south of Plaitford Green) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. With historic properties like Landford Manor, 1.7 miles south-west of Plaitford Green, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. 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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
