Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Several jobs near Pound Hill can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
About our facade sealing in Pound Hill
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you have cladding panel joints that have opened up and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Pound Hill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
On a small site around Pound Hill, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When to call us in Pound Hill
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
New units and refits on sites such as Worth Corner Business Centre, under half a mile south of Pound Hill, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Common questions from Pound Hill clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Langley Green Hospital (psychiatric), something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Pound Hill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share access with other external trades
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
