How we handle facade sealing in Ramsden Heath
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you’re dealing with facade joints cracked through the middle and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ramsden Heath, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Ramsden Heath can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Essex. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Ramsden Heath need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Commercial clients in Ramsden Heath
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
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.

Building and refurbishing in Ramsden Heath
Ramsden Heath is about 26 miles from central London. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Ramsden Heath 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, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Ingatestone Hall (3.9 miles north-west of Ramsden Heath) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Mayflower High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Mayflower Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Ramsden Heath?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
What we are called out for in Ramsden Heath
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
New wings at hospitals like Mayflower Community Hospital, 3.1 miles to the west of Ramsden Heath, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
