About our facade sealing in Fairford Leys
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. If you are dealing with facade joints cracked through the middle and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Fairford Leys from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Conversions around smaller places like Fairford Leys often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Cost factors for facade joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
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 email a schedule or drawings.

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. For a job in Fairford Leys, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fairford Leys
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Questions we are asked in Fairford Leys
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University Campus Aylesbury Vale?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Share access with other external trades
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Facade sealing around Fairford Leys: what changes locally
Fairford Leys lies roughly 39 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Hotels like The Bell Hotel, 1.1 miles to the east of Fairford Leys, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Broadfields Retail Park, 0.5 miles north of Fairford Leys, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (1 mile east of Fairford Leys), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
