How we handle facade sealing in Upper North Dean
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you’re dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Upper North Dean first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Upper North Dean bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Upper North Dean as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings around smaller places like Upper North Dean, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: 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
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Upper North Dean can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.

Advice
Upper North Dean: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Upper North Dean outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
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 we will price the work around it.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
