Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions answered

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Radcliffe Infirmary?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Does your area include sites such as West Way Shopping Centre, near Dean Court?

Yes, sites like West Way Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Dean Court. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is colour matching possible?

Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

Should we check old sealant for asbestos?

It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.

Can one quote cover more than one building?

Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

Do you work in Dean Court?

Yes. Dean Court falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.

How we handle facade sealing in Dean Court

Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. We work on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is staining on stone next to old sealant and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Dean Court? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

Around places like Dean Court, 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

How a job runs

Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Several jobs near Dean Court can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.

  1. We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
  2. Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
  3. Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
  4. Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
  5. A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
  6. The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Preparing the site

  • Have the specification and drawings to hand
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Make sure the joints can be reached

Looking after the joints

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

  • Combine resealing with other works that need access
  • Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
  • Keep the sealant details on the building file
  • Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed

Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.

Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Dean Court

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Dean Court can form part of a wider programme across Oxfordshire.

What we can’t put right

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:

  • Work on the window or framing system itself
  • Damp caused by condensation inside the building
  • Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client

If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Shopfront frames
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Cladding panel joints

Cost factors for facade joints

Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:

  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • Access and working height
  • The product specified

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Sending details for a quote

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:

  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • The site address and postcode

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.

Facades, frames and programmes in Dean Court

The area within 2 miles of Dean Court holds a good number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Rainfall across the South East, Dean Court included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

For contractors at a school such as Matthew Arnold School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as Radcliffe Infirmary, 2.2 miles to the east of Dean Court, 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. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like West Way Shopping Centre (0.6 miles east of Dean Court) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

General trades versus a specialist

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.

Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
