About our facade sealing in West Bergholt
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in West Bergholt it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around places like West Bergholt, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Bergholt
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Cygnet Hospital Colchester, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Essex?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Building and refurbishing in West Bergholt
A 2-mile radius around West Bergholt takes in several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. West Bergholt is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a college like The Sixth Form College Colchester, 2.4 miles south-east of West Bergholt, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. When units on a site such as Stane Retail Park (to the south-west of West Bergholt) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Building work at universities like University of Essex (to the south-east of West Bergholt) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
When to bring in a 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
