About our facade sealing in Rudley Green
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have old perimeter mastic that has dried out and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Rudley Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Rudley Green is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rudley Green
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Converted and older buildings near places like Rudley Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

When to call us in Rudley Green
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water coming in around window frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Extensions at sites like St Peter's Hospital (2.4 miles north of Rudley Green) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they’ll work around occupants
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Contractors’ notes for Rudley Green
Rudley Green lies within about 3 miles of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Rudley Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
When units on a site such as Wycke Hill Business Park, 1.7 miles north of Rudley Green, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at schools like Purleigh Community Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Rudley Green is about 3 miles south-west of Maldon, in Essex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Rudley Green can call on us for facade joints. Rudley Green is one of 644 places in Essex on our list for facade joints. Sites around London have their own page, about 35 miles away.

Questions about Rudley Green
Can you work at a site such as Wycke Hill Business Park, by Rudley Green?
Yes. We cover Rudley Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wycke Hill Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Rudley Green outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
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. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
