How we handle facade sealing in Shottenden
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and cold air coming in at window perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Shottenden, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Shottenden can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we are called out for in Shottenden
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
On any site in or around Shottenden, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Shottenden can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Shottenden
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Your questions answered
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Shottenden?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Shottenden?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Building and refurbishing in Shottenden
Shottenden sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Shottenden lies roughly 47 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (3.7 miles north-west of Shottenden) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
