Facade sealing for Shere sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Facade sealing in Shere, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Shere, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Shere 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.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Shere
Can the mastic package for our job in Shere follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St. Luke’s Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Commercial clients in Shere
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
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.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Shere need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
New build and refits around Shere
Shere lies roughly 25 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Shere 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.
School extensions, at buildings such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For a contractor working at a hospital such as St. Luke’s Hospital, which lies west of Shere, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

When to call us in Shere
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Look out for the following:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
With historic properties like Hatchlands Park, 2.6 miles to the north of Shere, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
