Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lewknor
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have draughts around frames and panels and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Lewknor is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In the countryside around places like Lewknor, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

FAQs: Lewknor
Is Lewknor too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Thame Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange a visit. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
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.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
What we are called out for in Lewknor
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 tears as the joint moves.
Look out for the following:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
New wings at hospitals like Thame Community Hospital, 5 miles to the north of Lewknor, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

What happens if it’s left?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Lewknor, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Facade sealing in Lewknor: the local picture
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 external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Lewknor lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Units on estates such as Watlington Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the south-west of Lewknor, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Historic houses such as Adwell House, 1.6 miles north-west of Lewknor, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Lewknor is about 5 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lewknor use us for work on facade joints. Across Oxfordshire, 423 places are covered, including Lewknor. Oxford is covered too, some 12 miles away.

Advice
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
