Facade sealing in Colthrop
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Colthrop
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you’re dealing with cold air coming in at window perimeters and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Colthrop, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Colthrop, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Questions we’re asked in Colthrop
Do you cover business parks and estates near Colthrop, such as Pipers Lane Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Pipers Lane Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Colthrop. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Would you work within a site like West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Colthrop may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

New build and refits around Colthrop
Colthrop sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Colthrop lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
With historic properties like Shaw House, 3.5 miles west of Colthrop, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Units on estates such as Pipers Lane Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the south-west of Colthrop, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital, 2.4 miles to the west of Colthrop, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Specialist high-level access methods
