Facade sealing in Bockmer End
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and water coming in around window frames, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bockmer End, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Bockmer End bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.

What happens if it’s left?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Around Bockmer End, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Bockmer End
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
School extensions, at buildings such as Danesfield School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Facade sealing around Bockmer End: points for this area
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Bockmer End. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, 1 mile south-east of Bockmer End, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Further education sites such as Berkshire College of Agriculture (2.4 miles south-east of Bockmer End) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Questions about Bockmer End
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Berkshire College of Agriculture?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Marlow Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
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.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
