About our facade sealing in Roxbourne
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. Site teams most often ask us about air leaks through failed facade joints and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, across coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Roxbourne from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is usually one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in Roxbourne
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Roxbourne can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
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 phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Related advice
Do you need facade sealing in Roxbourne?
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Projects at colleges like Christ the Redeemer College, 0.6 miles east of Roxbourne, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Before you book anyone
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
What the job involves on each 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.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Your questions answered
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Can you work on a hospital site such as Cygnet Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Facade sealing in Roxbourne: the local picture
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Roxbourne. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. As part of Greater London, Roxbourne is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
On a campus such as Westminster University, 2.6 miles east of Roxbourne, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
