When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
Facade sealing in Chieveley, 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. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patch repairs that keep failing and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Chieveley tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a site near Chieveley, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Berkshire. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Chieveley may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
Common questions from Chieveley clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Chieveley, such as Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Chieveley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate included. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
What we’re called out for in Chieveley
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
On a healthcare site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, which lies south of Chieveley, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Building and refurbishing in Chieveley
Chieveley lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. A 2-mile radius around Chieveley takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Older buildings in the area around Chieveley, such as Shaw House, which lies south of Chieveley, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. When units on a site such as Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate (2.1 miles south-east of Chieveley) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
