Facade sealing for Boveney sites

How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint.
About our facade sealing in Boveney
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you have old perimeter mastic that has dried out and draughts around frames and panels, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Boveney first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Boveney bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Facade sealing around Boveney: how the place shapes the job
A 2-mile radius around Boveney takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Boveney is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
When a college such as Windsor College (to the south-east of Boveney) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. When a school such as Homer First School and Nursery is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Boveney is about 1 mile north-west of Windsor, in Buckinghamshire.

Boveney: questions and answers
Is Bray Business Centre, near Boveney, within your area?
Yes, sites like Bray Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Boveney. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as King Edward VII Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we will price the work around it.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Boveney may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Places near Boveney

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Common problems we fix in Boveney
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Look out for the following:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
On a healthcare site such as King Edward VII Hospital, 1.9 miles south-east of Boveney, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
