Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
When to call us in Surrex
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- No planned programme for sealant
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Older buildings near Surrex, from historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower, 5 miles south-east of Surrex, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Group repairs into a planned programme
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
