About our facade sealing in Bletchingdon
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 cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and previous reseals run over old sealant. Most enquiries from Bletchingdon start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Bletchingdon, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. 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. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Building and refurbishing in Bletchingdon
Bletchingdon lies roughly 56 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Bletchingdon sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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.
Units on estates such as Business Park (to the east of Bletchingdon) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Bletchingdon, such as Blenheim Palace, 3.9 miles west of Bletchingdon, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.

Common problems we fix in Bletchingdon
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
For contractors at a school such as Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Proof of insurance
Diagnose, treat, sign off

If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Bletchingdon can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Halls, stores and units around places like Bletchingdon may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
