Facade sealing in Hungerford, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hungerford first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around places like Hungerford, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a site in Hungerford, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

New build and refits around Hungerford
At about 62 miles from central London, Hungerford is within reach of the capital. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
Hotels like Three Swans Hotel (under half a mile north-east of Hungerford) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. School extensions, at buildings such as Hungerford Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as Hungerford Trading Estate, less than half a mile to the west of Hungerford, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Common questions from Hungerford clients
Is Hungerford too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hungerford are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hungerford, such as Hungerford Trading Estate?
Yes. We cover Hungerford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hungerford Trading Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
