About our facade sealing in East Hendred
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water coming in around window frames and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in East Hendred from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In the countryside around places like East Hendred, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in East Hendred as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Honest limits

- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damaged frames that need replacing

New build and refits around East Hendred
At about 54 miles from central London, East Hendred is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. East Hendred has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
On a healthcare site such as Abingdon Community Hospital (5.2 miles north of East Hendred), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. New units and refits on sites such as The Core Business Centre (to the north-east of East Hendred) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

What else we do in East Hendred
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Get the joint design right when resealing: 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.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
When to call us in East Hendred
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Water coming in around window frames
For contractors at a school such as The Hendreds Church of England School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually 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. If others near East Hendred need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
FAQs: East Hendred
Can you work on a hospital site such as Abingdon Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is East Hendred off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
