Facades, frames and programmes in Southend
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Southend included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Southend. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Projects at colleges like Capel Manor College (2.2 miles south-west of Southend) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Building work at universities like University of Greenwich - Greenwich Campus, 3.6 miles north of Southend, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Specialist high-level access methods
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Common problems we fix in Southend
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Bell Green Retail Park, less than half a mile west of Southend, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich - Greenwich Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
