About our facade sealing in Little Tew
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Most enquiries involve facade joints cracked through the middle and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Little Tew first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Little Tew, 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 photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
What we’re called out for in Little Tew
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
School extensions, at buildings such as Great Tew County Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Around Little Tew, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- CHAS accredited contractor
Questions we are asked in Little Tew
Is a smaller place like Little Tew outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate, near Little Tew?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Little Tew, Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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 will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, and we build that into the programme.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.

What else we do in Little Tew
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Contractors’ notes for Little Tew
At about 66 miles from central London, Little Tew is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate (2 miles south of Little Tew), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
