Facade sealing in Botley
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
About our facade sealing in Botley
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and staining on stone next to old sealant, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Botley tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites around smaller places like Botley can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Botley clients
Is a smaller place like Botley outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can work at a site such as Buckinghamshire New University fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Signs you need facade sealing in Botley
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
New wings at hospitals like Amersham Hospital (3.7 miles south-west of Botley) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Rural sites near Botley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.

New build and refits around Botley
At about 25 miles from central London, Botley is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
School extensions, at buildings such as Ley Hill School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When units on a site such as Waterside Business Park (to the west of Botley) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
