How we handle facade sealing in Greenham

Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. If you have draughts around frames and panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can put it right, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Greenham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.

Sites around smaller places like Greenham can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What we are called out for in Greenham

Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • Leaks at window and door perimeters
  • Cold air coming in at window perimeters
  • Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
  • Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters

New wings at hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles north-east of Greenham) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Before you book anyone

  • Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Our contractor checklist

From enquiry to sign-off

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building around Greenham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
  2. Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
  3. Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
  4. Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
  5. Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
  6. The finished joints are checked with you.

Getting the site ready

  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Related advice

Should maintenance staff do it?

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.

Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Honest limits

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:

  • Damp caused by condensation inside the building
  • Render or concrete edges that have broken away
  • Work on the window or framing system itself

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Greenham

  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Shopfront frames
  • Coping and flashing joints

Looking after the joints

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:

  • Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
  • Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
  • Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks

Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.

In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.

Greenham: questions and answers

Is a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital somewhere you can work?

Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.

Is Greenham off your patch?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Can you work in cold or wet weather?

Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.

Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?

Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.

Mastic packages on Greenham sites

Greenham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Greenham is about 53 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.

Work at a hotel such as Newbury Manor Hotel (1.2 miles north of Greenham) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When a school such as The Willows Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Greenham is about 1 mile south-east of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Greenham sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Greenham is one of 140 places in West Berkshire on our list. Reading is covered too, some 15 miles away.

Postcode districts covered here: RG19 and RG14. If your site is on Water Lane, Greenham Road and Draytons View or close by, send details and we will quote for facade joints. Close to Greenham, our area also takes in Sandleford (1 mile south-west), Newbury (1 mile north-west), Newtown Common (2 miles south-west), Wash Common (2 miles south-west) and Burghclere Common (2 miles south).

Different surfaces, different methods

Cladding panel joints

Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.

Brick and stone facades

Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
