How we handle facade sealing in Coley Park
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and water coming in around window frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Coley Park, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around places like Coley Park, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Sites and facades in and around Coley Park
Coley Park lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. A 2-mile radius around Coley Park takes in plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
University estates such as University of Reading (to the east of Coley Park) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For contractors at a college like Reading College (1.5 miles north-east of Coley Park), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. For a contractor at a hotel such as Crescent Hotel, under half a mile north-east of Coley Park, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Coley Park is about 1 mile south-west of Reading, in Reading. We send applicators to Coley Park for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Reading, 17 places are covered, Coley Park among them.

Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.

FAQs: Coley Park
Can you work on a hospital site such as Berkshire Independent 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.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Reading for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Work in places the size of Coley Park is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
