Need facade sealing in Burnham?

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Our process

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Several jobs near Burnham can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.

  1. We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
  2. We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
  3. The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
  4. Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
  5. Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
  6. We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

Preparing the site

  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Burnham

External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Burnham tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Around places like Burnham, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.

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 are upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods

Brick and stone facades

Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.

Precast concrete panels

Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.

Commercial clients in Burnham

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Burnham can form part of a wider programme.

Contractors’ notes for Burnham

A 2-mile radius around Burnham takes in several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Burnham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.

When a school such as The E-Act Burnham Park Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Upton Hospital (3.3 miles south-east of Burnham), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. With historic properties like Dorney Court, 1.9 miles to the south of Burnham, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Burnham is about 2 miles north-west of Slough, in Buckinghamshire. Across the SL1 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Buckinghamshire, 308 places are covered, Burnham among them. Our Reading page has more on work in that area, about 15 miles away.

Why deal with it now?

Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Small buildings around Burnham suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Your questions answered

Is Burnham off your patch?

Not at all. Burnham is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you cover business parks and estates near Burnham, such as Marshgate Trading Estate?

Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Burnham, Marshgate Trading Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.

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.

How much does the work cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?

For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.

After the work

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

  • Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
  • Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
  • Never let anyone seal over old sealant
  • Clear debris that holds water against joints

Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.

In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.

Honest limits

Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle

If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
