Questions about Cholsey
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cholsey, such as Hithercroft Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Cholsey and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hithercroft Industrial Estate. 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.
Is a hospital such as Wallingford Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Cholsey
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you are dealing with unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Cholsey from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions around smaller places like Cholsey often join new frames to old masonry or timber, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common problems we fix in Cholsey
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Work at a hotel such as The Springs Hotel, 1.4 miles east of Cholsey, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cholsey
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In a smaller place such as Cholsey, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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 Cholsey, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
