Building and refurbishing in Tilford Common
Central London is about 36 miles from Tilford Common. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Tilford Common is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When a school such as All Saints CofE Aided Infant School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. With historic properties like Farnham Castle (3.9 miles north-west of Tilford Common) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Extensions at sites like Milford Hospital, 5.4 miles to the east of Tilford Common, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Facade sealing in Tilford Common
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you have staining on stone next to old sealant and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tilford Common from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Tilford Common, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Tilford Common can be grouped with others nearby.

- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.

Questions about Tilford Common
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Milford Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is a smaller place like Tilford Common outside your area?
No. Places such as Tilford Common are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tilford Common. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
