Facade sealing for businesses in Hare Hatch

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Our process

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Rural sites near Hare Hatch may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.

  1. We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
  2. We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
  3. Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
  4. Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
  5. Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
  6. The finished joints are checked with you.

Preparing the site

  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Let us know about inductions and permits

About our facade sealing in Hare Hatch

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 build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cladding panel joints that have opened up and leaks at window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hare Hatch, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

For a site near Hare Hatch, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.

What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Leave it or put it right?

Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Older rural buildings around Hare Hatch move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Building and refurbishing in Hare Hatch

Hare Hatch sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Hare Hatch lies roughly 32 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.

New wings at hospitals like St Mark's Hospital (to the north-east of Hare Hatch) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors on a campus like University of Reading, which lies west of Hare Hatch, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Castle End Business Park, under half a mile to the south of Hare Hatch, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Hare Hatch is about 4 miles north-east of Woodley, in Wokingham. We send applicators to Hare Hatch for facade joints. Across Wokingham, 42 places are covered, including Hare Hatch. For work in that direction, see our Reading page.

Doing it in-house

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.

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What the job involves on each surface

Coping and flashing joints

Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.

Cladding panel joints

On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end with backing and a facade-grade sealant.

What sets the cost

Before we quote, we look at:

  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation
  • Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

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.

Sending details for a quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Access details, including height
  • Your programme or deadline
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Common questions from Hare Hatch clients

Can you work on a hospital site such as St Mark's Hospital?

Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.

Can work at a site such as University of Reading fit around teaching?

Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.

Can you work in cold or wet weather?

We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.

What do you charge?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Are your applicators CSCS-carded?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Can staff carry on working while you’re here?

Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.

Do you cover Hare Hatch?

Yes. We cover Hare Hatch and the rest of Wokingham, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

What we can’t put right

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Damp caused by condensation inside the building
  • Render or concrete edges that have broken away
  • Providing access systems for the work

If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
