About our facade sealing in Kingston Stert
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. Most enquiries involve failed sealant on precast panel joints and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Kingston Stert, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Kingston Stert, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What we are called out for in Kingston Stert
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Look out for the following:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
When a school such as Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Mastic packages on Kingston Stert sites
Kingston Stert is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. At about 39 miles from central London, Kingston Stert is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Bandet Way Industrial Estate (2.5 miles north of Kingston Stert) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. New wings at hospitals like Thame Community Hospital (3 miles north of Kingston Stert) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Kingston Stert is about 3 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Commercial clients in Kingston Stert can call on us for facade joints, as part of our coverage of Oxfordshire. 423 places across Oxfordshire fall within our area, including Kingston Stert. Sites around Oxford have their own page, about 13 miles away.

- Access details, including height

Common questions from Kingston Stert clients
Is Kingston Stert too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Would you work within a site like Thame Community 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.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll tell you which.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
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 and we follow the specified product.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kingston Stert
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Kingston Stert. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why appoint us
- Colour agreed before work starts
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- CHAS accredited
What we can’t put right
