Facade sealing for commercial buildings in The Chart
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. Site teams most often ask us about failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and damp patches beside frames after rain, across coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in The Chart 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 The Chart 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: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Older rural buildings around The Chart move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When to call us in The Chart
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.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Projects at schools like Limpsfield CofE Infant School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Facade sealing in The Chart: the local picture
At about 18 miles from central London, The Chart is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The Chart sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Extensions at sites like Tandridge Priory (to the north-west of The Chart) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Historic houses such as Chartwell (1.9 miles east of The Chart) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
The Chart is about 6 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. If you are looking for facade sealing in The Chart, we can help. 379 places across Surrey fall within our area, The Chart among them. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 18 miles from The Chart.

For rail, the closest station is Hurst Green station, roughly 1.6 miles west. Nearby you’ll also find Tandridge Priory (0.6 miles north-west). Not far away are Botley Hill and Bay Pond.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Questions about The Chart
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near The Chart?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is The Chart too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
