About our facade sealing in Cray's Pond
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. Site teams most often ask us about staining on stone next to old sealant and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Cray's Pond, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Cray's Pond, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Contractors’ notes for Cray's Pond
Cray's Pond is about 43 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Cray's Pond sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Older buildings in the area around Cray's Pond, such as Basildon Park, which lies south-west of Cray's Pond, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. School extensions, at buildings such as The Oratory Preparatory School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hospital estates such as Battle Hospital, 5.7 miles south-east of Cray's Pond, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Cray's Pond is about 6 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in RG8, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Reading, roughly 7 miles from Cray's Pond.
Business premises anywhere in RG8 are within our area. Buildings on Crays Pond Close, Garton End and Goring Road are within our area for facade joints.

Doing it in-house
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Converted and older buildings near places like Cray's Pond tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- CHAS accredited contractor
- One contact handling all your sites
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Cray's Pond, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Battle Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Cray's Pond too far out for you?
No. Places such as Cray's Pond are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll tell you which.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we will plan the work with you.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
