Questions about Three Bridges

Is a smaller place like Three Bridges outside your area?

No. Places such as Three Bridges are covered as much as the big 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 work around term dates at a campus such as Crawley College?

Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

What will the job cost?

That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Can you look at water coming in around a frame?

Yes. Photos help, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.

How do I request a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.

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.

Will you come and look before quoting?

It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

How we handle facade sealing in Three Bridges

Managing agents and owners in Three Bridges ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and discoloured or dirty facade joints, on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Three Bridges is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

On a small site around Three Bridges, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.

What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the quote is worked out

To price the job, we consider:

  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Working within restricted access windows

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

What we need to price the job

We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • The postcode of the building
  • Specification clauses that apply

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Work for main contractors and building owners

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

On site: what to expect

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Three Bridges need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.

  1. We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
  2. Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
  3. Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
  4. Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
  5. The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
  6. We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.

Preparing the site

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Send your site hours and access windows

What we are called out for in Three Bridges

Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:

  • Leaks at window and door perimeters
  • Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
  • Cladding panel joints that have opened up
  • Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames

For contractors at a school such as Pound Hill Junior School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

What to look for in a quote

  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Why act early in Three Bridges

Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.

Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.

What you get with us

  • One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
  • 12 months’ guarantee on every job
  • Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Surface by surface

Window and door perimeters

Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in finished to throw water off the joint.

Coping and flashing joints

Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
