Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Lower Assendon
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lower Assendon 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.
Around smaller places like Lower Assendon, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions we are asked in Lower Assendon
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Reading?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Lower Assendon off your patch?
Not at all. Lower Assendon is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed before quoting. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Assendon
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Halls, stores and units around places like Lower Assendon may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Colours confirmed for the specified product

New build and refits around Lower Assendon
Lower Assendon is about 36 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Lower Assendon 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
School extensions, at buildings such as Rupert House School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Older buildings in the area around Lower Assendon, such as Greys Court, which lies south-west of Lower Assendon, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Lower Assendon is about 6 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Lower Assendon sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 423 places across Oxfordshire fall within our area, Lower Assendon among them.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Lower Assendon
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Draughts around frames and panels
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Townlands Memorial Hospital, 1.4 miles to the south-east of Lower Assendon, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
