Common problems we fix in Earlstone Common
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
New wings at hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital, 3.8 miles to the north of Earlstone Common, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Facade sealing in Earlstone Common, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Earlstone Common ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you have patch repairs that keep failing and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Earlstone Common, 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.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we will need

FAQs: Earlstone Common
Could you schedule work at a campus like Newbury College for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Newbury Retail Park, near Earlstone Common, within your area?
Yes, sites like Newbury Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Earlstone Common. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

Cost factors for facade joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
