How we handle facade sealing in Steeple
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you are dealing with previous reseals run over old sealant and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can help, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Steeple is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Steeple is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.

When to call us in Steeple
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
On any site in or around Steeple, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

What else we do in Steeple
How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Common questions from Steeple clients
Can being near the sea in Steeple affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Steeple off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
