About our facade sealing in Theydon Bois
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we will fit the work around it. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames after rain and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Whoever orders the work in Theydon Bois, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Building work in places the size of Theydon Bois is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done 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.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions from Theydon Bois clients
Is Theydon Bois too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Theydon Bois are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Saint Margaret's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Why act early in Theydon Bois
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
Sites and facades in and around Theydon Bois
Theydon Bois sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. Theydon Bois lies roughly 15 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
New units and refits on sites such as Hobbs Cross Business Centre, 1.5 miles east of Theydon Bois, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. School extensions, at buildings such as Theydon Bois Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Theydon Bois is about 2 miles north-east of Loughton, in Essex.

Common problems we fix in Theydon Bois
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.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
Further education sites such as New City College, 1.9 miles south-west of Theydon Bois, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Work in places the size of Theydon Bois is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
