Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ascott Earl, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Ascott Earl: questions and answers
Is Ascott Earl off your patch?
Not at all. Ascott Earl is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the mastic package for our job in Ascott Earl follow the site programme?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What the job involves on each surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Ascott Earl, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
Common problems we fix in Ascott Earl
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Look out for the following:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
With historic properties like Minster Lovell Hall (to the south of Ascott Earl) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Facades, frames and programmes in Ascott Earl
Ascott Earl is about 68 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
When units on a site such as Wychwood Business Centre (1.4 miles west of Ascott Earl) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. For a contractor at a hotel such as Shaven Crown Hotel (1.2 miles west of Ascott Earl), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
