About our facade sealing in Crockham Heath
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Crockham Heath. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you have draughts around frames and panels and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help. Most enquiries from Crockham Heath start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Crockham Heath, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
Common problems we fix in Crockham Heath
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Patch repairs that keep failing
For contractors at a college like Newbury College, 2.3 miles to the east of Crockham Heath, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Mastic packages on Crockham Heath sites
At about 56 miles from central London, Crockham Heath is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
With historic properties like Benham Park (1.8 miles north of Crockham Heath) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. New wings at hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital (to the north-east of Crockham Heath) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Newbury College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Crockham Heath too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Crockham Heath is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crockham Heath
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Crockham Heath. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Crockham Heath are typically planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
