Facade sealing for Wick sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
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.
Facade sealing in Wick, done properly
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 Wick. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured or dirty facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Wick, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places like Wick, 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: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Facades, frames and programmes in Wick
Wick sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Wick is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a school such as Lyminster Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Victoria Hotel, which lies south-east of Wick, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. With historic properties like Ecclesden Manor, 3.5 miles east of Wick, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Questions we’re asked in Wick
Is Lineside Road Industrial Estate, near Wick, within your area?
Yes, sites like Lineside Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Wick. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as Zachary Merton Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover Wick?
Yes. Sites across Wick are covered.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. What matters most for a job in Wick is a clear list of what needs doing. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
