Facade sealing for Shutford sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shutford are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Facade sealing in Shutford, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you’re dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shutford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Shutford bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What we’re called out for in Shutford
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
When a college such as Wroxton College, 2 miles east of Shutford, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.

Questions about Shutford
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Horton General Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you take on work at estates like Alkerton Oaks Business Park, close to Shutford?
Yes. We cover Shutford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Alkerton Oaks Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Honest limits
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:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Facades, frames and programmes in Shutford
Central London is about 69 miles from Shutford. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Shutford included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
With historic properties like Broughton Castle, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Shutford, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Hospital estates such as Horton General Hospital (4.3 miles east of Shutford) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

What happens if it’s left?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. Around Shutford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
