Facade sealing in Aston, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you’re dealing with draughts around frames and panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Aston? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like Aston, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters

Facade sealing around Aston: points for this area
Rainfall across the South East, Aston included, is lower than in many 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. At about 34 miles from central London, Aston is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
On a campus such as University of Reading (4.7 miles south-west of Aston), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Hospital estates such as Townlands Memorial Hospital, 1.9 miles to the south-west of Aston, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Aston is about 2 miles north-east of Henley-on-Thames, in Wokingham. We cover Aston and the rest of Wokingham, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Wokingham coverage takes in 42 places, large and small. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Aston
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Water coming in around window frames
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Older buildings in the area around Aston, such as Greenlands, 1 mile to the north-west of Aston, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Reading?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a hospital such as Townlands Memorial Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch.
