Need facade sealing in West Horsley?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in West Horsley
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around West Horsley. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are air leaks through failed facade joints and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in West Horsley it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a contractor on a smaller site near West Horsley, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common problems we fix in West Horsley
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Look out for the following:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
When a school such as The Raleigh School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Horsley
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In a smaller place such as West Horsley, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
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.

Questions we are asked in West Horsley
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Woking Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is West Horsley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. West Horsley is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
What affects the price in West Horsley
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Facade sealing in West Horsley: the local picture
The area within 2 miles of West Horsley holds several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Rainfall across the South East, West Horsley included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Older buildings in the area around West Horsley, such as Hatchlands Park, which lies south-west of West Horsley, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New wings at hospitals like Woking Community Hospital (to the north-west of West Horsley) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
