Facade sealing near Snoll Hatch
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
How we handle facade sealing in Snoll Hatch
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and staining on stone next to old sealant. Most enquiries from Snoll Hatch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Snoll Hatch, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Rural sites near Snoll Hatch may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
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 fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
