Facade sealing near Bledington
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
How we handle facade sealing in Bledington
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Most enquiries involve draughts around frames and panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints, across window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bledington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Bledington, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Building and refurbishing in Bledington
Rainfall across the South East, Bledington included, is lower than in many 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.
Extensions at sites like Moore Cottage Hospital (to the west of Bledington) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Historic houses such as Chastleton House, 4 miles north of Bledington, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. School extensions, at buildings such as Bledington Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

From enquiry to sign-off
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. Jobs in and around smaller places like Bledington are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Common questions from Bledington clients
Is a smaller place like Bledington outside your area?
No. Places such as Bledington are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the mastic package for our job in Bledington follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
