Signs you need facade sealing in Ramsey
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Projects at schools like Harwich and Dovercourt High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?

Contractors’ notes for Ramsey
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ramsey counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
New wings at hospitals like Fryatt Hospital, 1.9 miles to the east of Ramsey, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:

- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Common questions from Ramsey clients
Is a hospital such as Fryatt Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Is Ramsey off your patch?
Not at all. Ramsey is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
