Facade sealing in Lower Common, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lower Common from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In the countryside around places like Lower Common, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Facades, frames and programmes in Lower Common
Central London is about 36 miles from Lower Common. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Warbrook House Hotel, which lies south-east of Lower Common, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a healthcare site such as Wokingham Hospital, 4.5 miles to the north-east of Lower Common, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. With historic properties like Stratfield Saye House, 4.3 miles west of Lower Common, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Converted and older buildings near places like Lower Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Lower Common too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lower Common are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Hogwood Lane Industrial Estate, near Lower Common?
Yes, sites like Hogwood Lane Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Lower Common. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
