Advice
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Your questions answered
Is Tubney off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Kingston Business Park, by Tubney?
Yes. We cover Tubney and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Kingston Business Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you need facade sealing in Tubney?
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
University estates such as University of Oxford, 4.5 miles to the west of Tubney, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

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. Tubney sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

For contractors at a college like McTimoney Chiropratic College, which lies south-east of Tubney, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
