Facade sealing in Buckinghamshire: how it works

Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
Failed beads are removed in full.
Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
The finished joints are checked with you.

How we quote

Near you in Aylesbury

In Aylesbury, that means premises near Buckinghamshire UTC, Stocklake Park Community School and The Derby Arms Public House and the streets around them. Nearby too are Bearbrook Combined School (0.5 miles west) and Church of St Mary (under half a mile north). Aylesbury has its own railway station: Aylesbury station. A little further out are Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (under half a mile east) and Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (under half a mile north). Open spaces near Aylesbury include Coombe Hill.

Building work around Buckinghamshire

From Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham to smaller places across Buckinghamshire, main contractors and developers need mastic packages for new build and refurbishment. Window and door perimeters, facade and cladding joints and internal sealant are sealed to the specification and the programme.

The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and Buckinghamshire is part of the area we cover.

Aylesbury: For contractors at a college like Buckinghamshire College Group, which lies south-west of Aylesbury, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Bell Hotel, under half a mile south-east of Aylesbury, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Different surfaces, different methods

Window and door perimeters

Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.

Precast concrete panels

Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.

What affects the price in Buckinghamshire

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:

Distance, for remote addresses
Removal of failed or old sealant
The size and state of each joint
Any access equipment needed

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Sending details for a quote

Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:

Any specification or named product
The postcode of the building
Your programme or deadline
The asbestos register, for older buildings

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Looking after the joints

Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:

Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed

Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.

Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

When it isn’t the sealant

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

Specialist high-level access methods
Installing or repairing glazing systems
Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign

What we’re called out for in Buckinghamshire

When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Staining on stone next to old sealant
Leaks at window and door perimeters
Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away

Common questions from Buckinghamshire clients

Should we check old sealant for asbestos?

In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.

Can staff carry on working while you’re here?

In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.

Can you send site paperwork?

Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

Is colour matching possible?

Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
