Facade sealing in Sandford St Martin
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and cold air coming in at window perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sandford St Martin 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 Sandford St Martin 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Topping up a failed joint typically buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. For buildings around smaller places like Sandford St Martin, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- One contact handling all your sites
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Common questions from Sandford St Martin clients
Will you take on work at estates like Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate, close to Sandford St Martin?
Yes. We cover Sandford St Martin and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Sandford St Martin outside your area?
No. Places such as Sandford St Martin are covered as much as the big 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.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What the job involves on each surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Facades, frames and programmes in Sandford St Martin
Central London is about 63 miles from Sandford St Martin. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
On any site in or around Sandford St Martin, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. When units on a site such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate (to the west of Sandford St Martin) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
