About our facade sealing in Stoke-by-Nayland
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are discoloured or dirty facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Stoke-by-Nayland? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a site near Stoke-by-Nayland, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Leave it or put it right?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. For buildings around smaller places like Stoke-by-Nayland, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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 quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Common questions from Stoke-by-Nayland clients
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Stoke-by-Nayland?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Severalls Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
Do you replace windows or glass?
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 need facade sealing in Stoke-by-Nayland?
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Look out for the following:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
When a school such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
