Common questions from Totham Hill clients
Is Totham Hill 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. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Beckingham Business Park, near Totham Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in Totham Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Beckingham Business Park included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Facade sealing in Totham Hill
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you are dealing with perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Totham Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Totham Hill, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Totham Hill as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end to the correct depth.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a building around Totham Hill, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 39 miles from Totham Hill. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
