Common problems we fix in Somerton
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.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
On any site in or around Somerton, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

How we handle facade sealing in Somerton
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant on precast panel joints and new sealant peeling off old mastic. Searching for sealant specialists in Somerton? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites around smaller places like Somerton can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Providing access systems for the work
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Building and refurbishing in Somerton
Somerton lies roughly 60 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Somerton included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hatch End Old Industrial Estate (2 miles south-west of Somerton) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Somerton: questions and answers
Can you keep pace with our programme in Somerton?
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.
Will you take on work at estates like Hatch End Old Industrial Estate, close to Somerton?
Yes. We cover Somerton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hatch End Old Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will tell you which.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Somerton, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
