Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
Facade sealing in Bradwell, done properly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you’re dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Bradwell, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
On a small site around Bradwell, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Signs you need facade sealing in Bradwell
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Building work at universities like University of Bedfordshire Milton Keynes Campus (to the south-east of Bradwell) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Facades, frames and programmes in Bradwell
Milton Keynes, one of the planned towns of the twentieth century, takes in or adjoins Bradwell. Many of its original buildings are reaching the age for recladding and new windows, with mastic packages to match. A 2-mile radius around Bradwell takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Blakelands Hospital, 2.5 miles north-east of Bradwell, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a school such as Bradwell Village School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in 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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
