About our facade sealing in Aldermaston
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. Site teams most often ask us about facade joints cracked through the middle and damp patches beside frames after rain, across stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Aldermaston, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Aldermaston is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We sign every job 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.

How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If others near Aldermaston need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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

Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Halls, stores and units around places like Aldermaston may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

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.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
What affects the price in Aldermaston
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
Facade sealing around Aldermaston: points for this area
Aldermaston lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. 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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Fronds Park Business Park, 0.8 miles north of Aldermaston, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Projects at schools like Aldermaston C.E. Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

FAQs: Aldermaston
Can you keep pace with our programme in Aldermaston?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Aldermaston too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
