How we handle facade sealing in Cumnor
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have patch repairs that keep failing and cold air coming in at window perimeters, 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 Cumnor, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Cumnor is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Advice
Cumnor: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Azad University in Oxford?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Wootton Business Park, near Cumnor, within your area?
Yes, sites like Wootton Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Cumnor. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll tell you which.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.

Commercial clients in Cumnor
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
New build and refits around Cumnor
Cumnor lies roughly 56 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Cumnor is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
New units and refits on sites such as Wootton Business Park, 1.7 miles south of Cumnor, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For contractors at a school such as Cumnor Church of England School (Voluntary Controlled), sealing has to be finished before term starts. On a campus such as Azad University in Oxford, which lies north-west of Cumnor, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
