When to call us in Ecchinswell
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Hospital estates such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, 5.1 miles north of Ecchinswell, 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.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Proof of insurance
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Facade sealing in Ecchinswell, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Ecchinswell, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site near Ecchinswell, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building around Ecchinswell, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Facade sealing around Ecchinswell: what changes locally
Ecchinswell lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Ecchinswell included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Ecchinswell, such as Highclere Castle, 3.4 miles to the west of Ecchinswell, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. When a school such as Ecchinswell and Sydmonton Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Ecchinswell is about 5 miles south of Newbury, in Hampshire. Our applicators travel to Ecchinswell for work on facade joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. For work in that direction, see our Reading page, about 15 miles away.

The countryside around Ecchinswell includes Ladle Hill and Audrey's Meadow.
Why act early in Ecchinswell
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Halls, stores and units around places like Ecchinswell may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Quoting for work in Ecchinswell
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Providing access systems for the work
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Common questions from Ecchinswell clients
Is Ecchinswell too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Ecchinswell are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
