Facade sealing in Great Western Park, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have discoloured or dirty facade joints and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Great Western Park, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In a smaller place such as Great Western Park, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.

How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Great Western Park need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Questions about Great Western Park
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Didcot Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Great Western Park too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Great Western Park are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Small buildings around Great Western Park suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Cost factors for facade joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Signs you need facade sealing in Great Western Park
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Kingswell Hotel, which lies south-west of Great Western Park, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
- Who will actually carry out the work
