Facade sealing in Forest Park

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Facade sealing in Forest Park

Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. If you have perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Forest Park tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

On a small site around Forest Park, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we will time the work so nothing waits on us.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When to bring in a specialist

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Facade sealing around Forest Park: how the place shapes the job

Forest Park lies roughly 28 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Forest Park is part of, or right next to, Bracknell, which was built as a planned town. Many of its original buildings are reaching the age for recladding and new windows, with mastic packages to match.

Further education sites such as Newbold College of Higher Education, 3 miles north-west of Forest Park, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For a contractor at a hotel such as Village Hotel Bracknell (0.9 miles south-west of Forest Park), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Forest Park is about 1 mile south-east of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. We cover commercial sites throughout Forest Park. Our Bracknell Forest coverage takes in 48 places, large and small. Reading is covered too, around 11 miles from Forest Park.

Business premises anywhere in RG12 are within our area. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Bog Lane, Bere Road and The Square and the roads nearby. Close to Forest Park, our area also takes in The Warren (1 mile north-east), Jennett's Park (1 mile north), Martins Heron (1 mile north), Harmans Water (1 mile west) and Bullbrook (1 mile north).

From enquiry to sign-off

We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Several jobs near Forest Park can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.

  1. Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
  2. We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
  3. Failed beads are removed in full.
  4. Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
  5. Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
  6. We go over the completed work with you before leaving.

Preparing the site

  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What the job involves on each surface

Precast concrete panels

Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.

Render and coated surfaces

Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.

When it isn’t the sealant

Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

  • Render or concrete edges that have broken away
  • Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
  • Installing or repairing glazing systems

Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Forest Park

  • Window and door perimeters
  • Cladding panel joints

FAQs: Forest Park

Can you work on a hospital site such as Heatherwood Hospital?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus?

Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.

Which sealant do you use on facades?

The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

Do you take on multi-site work?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

What about RAMS and site documents?

Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Can you fit around our working hours?

We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

What sets the cost

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • The size and state of each joint
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • Access details, including height
  • The asbestos register, for older buildings

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Signs you need facade sealing in Forest Park

New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Draughts around frames and panels
  • Staining on stone next to old sealant
  • Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
  • Leaks at window and door perimeters

Units on estates such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre, 1.8 miles north-west of Forest Park, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

What your quote should include

  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
