When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
About our facade sealing in Ball Hill
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and water coming in around window frames, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ball Hill? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Ball Hill is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Converted and older buildings near places like Ball Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Building and refurbishing in Ball Hill
Ball Hill is about 57 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Ball Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
With historic properties like Stargroves, 1.5 miles to the south of Ball Hill, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Extensions at sites like West Berkshire Community Hospital (5.3 miles north-east of Ball Hill) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Ball Hill is about 4 miles south-west of Newbury, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Ball Hill. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Ball Hill among them. For work in that direction, see our Reading page, about 19 miles away.

Advice
Cost factors for facade joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.

Common questions from Ball Hill clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Ball Hill?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you provide access for facade work?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
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, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
