How we handle facade sealing in Langley Common
Managing agents and owners in Langley Common ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Langley Common start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Langley Common, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Share access with other external trades
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Langley Common, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Do you need facade sealing in Langley Common?
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Patch repairs that keep failing
University estates such as University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus (to the north-west of Langley Common) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Langley Common: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access.
Is Langley Common in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Langley Common, with one number for every area we cover.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Facades, frames and programmes in Langley Common
At about 35 miles from central London, Langley Common 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. Langley Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hogwood Lane Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the south of Langley Common, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
