How we handle facade sealing in Vigo Village

Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Vigo Village is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Sites around smaller places like Vigo Village can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Vigo Village as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

  • Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
  • Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
  • Share access with other external trades

Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.

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.

Cost factors for facade joints

What shapes the price:

  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Working within restricted access windows
  • The size and state of each joint

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What to include in your enquiry

To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:

  • Access details, including height
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • The postcode of the building
  • When you need the work done

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Surface by surface

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.

Brick and stone facades

Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.

Questions we’re asked in Vigo Village

Can you work at a site such as Bowes Industrial Centre, by Vigo Village?

Yes, sites like Bowes Industrial Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Vigo Village. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Vigo Village?

Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.

How is access to upper-level joints handled?

We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned.

How soon can the area be used again?

We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

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 send details through our quote form to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

What we are called out for in Vigo Village

Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.

Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:

  • Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
  • Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
  • Damp patches beside frames after rain
  • Failed sealant on precast panel joints

With historic properties like Cobham College, 4.4 miles north of Vigo Village, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Before you book anyone

  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Our contractor checklist

How a job runs

When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. If others near Vigo Village need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

  1. We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
  2. We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
  5. Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
  6. We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Facade sealing around Vigo Village: how the place shapes the job

Vigo Village sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Vigo Village lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.

Projects at schools like Vigo Village School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Units on estates such as Bowes Industrial Centre, 2.1 miles north of Vigo Village, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Vigo Village is about 7 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. We cover commercial sites throughout Vigo Village. Our Kent coverage takes in 931 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 23 miles from Vigo Village.
