Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Sandhills, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Facade sealing in Sandhills
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. 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 leaks at window and door perimeters and air leaks through failed facade joints, across cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sandhills first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Sandhills is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

Questions about Sandhills
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Sandhills?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Milford Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. For buildings around smaller places like Sandhills, 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. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

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. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What we’re called out for in Sandhills
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Projects at schools like King Edward's School Witley work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their public liability cover
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Building and refurbishing in Sandhills
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Sandhills is about 35 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The White Hart Hotel (1.1 miles north-east of Sandhills), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Extensions at sites like Milford Hospital, 2.8 miles north-east of Sandhills, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
