About our facade sealing in Ramsdell
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, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. If you are dealing with cold air coming in at window perimeters and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames alike. Most enquiries from Ramsdell start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In the countryside around places like Ramsdell, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
New build and refits around Ramsdell
Central London is about 47 miles from Ramsdell. 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. Ramsdell sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Historic houses such as The Vyne (to the east of Ramsdell) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. On a healthcare site such as Parklands Hospital, 2.8 miles south-east of Ramsdell, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Around Ramsdell, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

When to call us in Ramsdell
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
When a school such as The Priory Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their public liability cover
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

FAQs: Ramsdell
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Parklands Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Ramsdell 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. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
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.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
