How we handle facade sealing in Shipton Green
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you are dealing with sealant pulling away from frames or panels and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help. Most enquiries from Shipton Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites around smaller places like Shipton Green can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. If others near Shipton Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
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.
When to call us in Shipton Green
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
On a healthcare site such as St Richard's Hospital, 5.2 miles north-east of Shipton Green, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
New build and refits around Shipton Green
Shipton Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Shipton Green sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Projects at schools like Birdham CE Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Questions we’re asked in Shipton Green
Our building in Shipton Green is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is a smaller place like Shipton Green outside your area?
Not at all. Shipton Green is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
