About facade sealing in Slough

Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. We work on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is water coming in around window frames and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away.

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

  1. We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
  2. We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
  5. Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

New build and refurbishment in Slough

We take on mastic packages across Slough, on large sites in places such as Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell and small schemes elsewhere. Whatever paperwork the site requires, from RAMS to CSCS details, we confirm when we quote.

All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, and every job in Slough starts with access, parking and site rules.

Slough: For contractors refurbishing units at places like Slough Business Park (less than half a mile north-west of Slough), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. New wings at hospitals like Upton Hospital, 0.9 miles south-east of Slough, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

When it isn’t the sealant

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

  • Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
  • Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

What affects the price in Slough

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • The product specified
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • The total length or number of joints

Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Sending details for a quote

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Any dates the work must fit around
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The postcode of the building

Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Keeping the joints sound

Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:

  • Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
  • Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
  • Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
  • Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks

Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.

Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.

Work for main contractors and building owners

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

What we are called out for in Slough

Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.

Most enquiries start with something like this:

  • Staining on stone next to old sealant
  • Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes

Common questions from Slough clients

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.

Do you use silicone for external joints?

Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.

Does the weather affect the work?

Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

What hours do you work?

Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Can you work on upper floors?

That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
