How we handle facade sealing in Sidlow
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve previous reseals run over old sealant and draughts around frames and panels, across shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Sidlow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Sidlow, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For work around Sidlow, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, 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.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Sidlow: questions and answers
Is Fontigarry Farm Business Park, near Sidlow, within your area?
Yes. We cover Sidlow and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Fontigarry Farm Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as East Surrey Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to 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 photographs and a postcode.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

Facades, frames and programmes in Sidlow
Sidlow is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 21 miles from central London, Sidlow is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For contractors at a school such as Dovers Green School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For contractors at a college like Reigate College, 2.3 miles to the north of Sidlow, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Hospital estates such as East Surrey Hospital, 1.9 miles north-east of Sidlow, 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.
Sidlow is about 2 miles south of Reigate, in Surrey. We send applicators to Sidlow for facade joints. Sidlow is one of 379 places we cover in Surrey for facade joints. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 21 miles away.
