Facade sealing in Rawreth
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals run over old sealant and failed sealant on precast panel joints, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Rawreth, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Rawreth, building work usually 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Chartwell Private Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work at a site such as Rawreth Industrial Estate, by Rawreth?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Rawreth, Rawreth Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch without tearing.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Facades, frames and programmes in Rawreth
Rawreth is about 30 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Rawreth included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Hospital estates such as Chartwell Private Hospital, 5.1 miles to the south-east of Rawreth, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. New units and refits on sites such as Rawreth Industrial Estate (1 mile south-east of Rawreth) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors at a school such as Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For work around Rawreth, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Share access with other external trades
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
