About our facade sealing in Little Hungerford
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve staining on stone next to old sealant and draughts around frames and panels, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Little Hungerford tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In the countryside around places like Little Hungerford, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

New build and refits around Little Hungerford
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. Little Hungerford is about 50 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Units on estates such as Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate (1.3 miles south-west of Little Hungerford) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Historic houses such as Shaw House (to the south-west of Little Hungerford) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Little Hungerford
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.

Can you quote from photos?

Do you need facade sealing in Little Hungerford?
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
For a contractor working at a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, 4 miles to the south of Little Hungerford, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Before you book anyone

- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
