About our facade sealing in Lambourn
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Lambourn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Conversions around smaller places like Lambourn often join new frames to old masonry or timber, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Common questions from Lambourn clients
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Lambourn?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Which documents can you supply for work in Lambourn?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Lambourn need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- 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
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
Doing it in-house
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Facade sealing around Lambourn: what changes locally
Lambourn sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. 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. Lambourn lies roughly 62 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
With historic properties like Ashdown House, 3.5 miles north-west of Lambourn, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. School extensions, at buildings such as Lambourn CofE Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hotels like The Red Lion Hotel (under half a mile west of Lambourn) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
