Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Facade sealing in Salfords
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. The enquiries we see most involve air leaks through failed facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Salfords, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Salfords 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Facades, frames and programmes in Salfords
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 21 miles from central London, Salfords is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Hospital estates such as East Surrey Hospital (to the north of Salfords) 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. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Mill House Hotel, less than half a mile to the north of Salfords, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

FAQs: Salfords
Is a hospital such as East Surrey Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does your area include sites such as Salbrook Road Industrial Estate, near Salfords?
Yes, sites like Salbrook Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Salfords. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What hours do you work?
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.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you replace windows or glass?
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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.

When to call us in Salfords
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Projects at schools like Salfords Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Salfords are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Confirm the product named in the specification
