Advice
About our facade sealing in Woodlands St Mary
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve water coming in around window frames and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Woodlands St Mary start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Woodlands St Mary, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Woodlands St Mary
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Woodlands St Mary tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
Common questions from Woodlands St Mary clients
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Woodlands St Mary?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Woodlands St Mary?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
Common problems we fix in Woodlands St Mary
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Sites around Woodlands St Mary get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Contractors’ notes for Woodlands St Mary
Woodlands St Mary lies roughly 61 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier 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.
A facade joint near Woodlands St Mary lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
