Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically 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 Eton Wick, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
How we handle facade sealing in Eton Wick
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve staining on stone next to old sealant and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Whoever orders the work in Eton Wick, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a site near Eton Wick, 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Do you need facade sealing in Eton Wick?
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.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
School extensions, at buildings such as Eton Wick CofE First School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Before you book anyone

- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.

Why act early in Eton Wick
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Eton Wick tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
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.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Your questions answered
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Windsor College?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Eton Wick too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Eton Wick are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Contractors’ notes for Eton Wick
The area within 2 miles of Eton Wick holds a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Rainfall across the South East, Eton Wick included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
On a healthcare site such as King Edward VII Hospital, 1.9 miles to the south-east of Eton Wick, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors at a college like Windsor College, 1.7 miles south-east of Eton Wick, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
