When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Wix
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you have perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can put it right, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Wix it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites around smaller places like Wix 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 will quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What else we do in Wix
Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Halls, stores and units around places like Wix may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wix are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Questions about Wix
Does your area include sites such as Oak Business Park, near Wix?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Wix, Oak Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a coastal location like Wix affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you work on upper floors?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we’ll price the work around it.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Facade sealing around Wix: what changes locally
Wix sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Wix 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
School extensions, at buildings such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Older buildings in the area around Wix, such as Thorpe Hall, 4.3 miles south of Wix, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. When units on a site such as Oak Business Park (2 miles south-east of Wix) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
