About our facade sealing in Send
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. The enquiries we see most involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and damp patches beside frames after rain, across window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Send, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Send, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: 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.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are 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 before you book.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.

Questions about Send
Can you work on a hospital site such as Woking Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
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.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
New build and refits around Send
Send is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. Central London is about 24 miles from Send. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When units on a site such as Merrow Business Park (to the south of Send) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at colleges like Woking College (1.4 miles north-west of Send) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Our applicators travel to Send for work on facade joints. Send is one of 379 places we cover in Surrey. For work in that direction, see our Reading page, about 22 miles away.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Common problems we fix in Send
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
For contractors on a campus like University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus, 4.1 miles south-west of Send, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Send need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
