Mastic packages on Caldecott sites
Caldecott sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 53 miles from Caldecott. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Units on estates such as Drayton Road Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north-west of Caldecott, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For contractors at a college like McTimoney Chiropratic College, 1 mile to the north-west of Caldecott, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Facade sealing in Caldecott
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. If you have failed sealant on precast panel joints and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Caldecott, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions around smaller places like Caldecott often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Abingdon Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Caldecott off your patch?
Not at all. Caldecott is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Why act early in Caldecott
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. In a smaller place such as Caldecott, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What we are called out for in Caldecott
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
School extensions, at buildings such as Thameside Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a site in Caldecott, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
