Common questions from Maidenhead clients

Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Maidenhead?

Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.

Is a hospital such as St Mark's Hospital somewhere you can work?

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

How long before the joints can be used?

The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

What hours do you work?

Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

How we handle facade sealing in Maidenhead

Managing agents and owners in Maidenhead ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Maidenhead 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.

Many towns of Maidenhead’s size have older buildings being converted or extended, which puts new frames and panels against old brick, stone or render. Getting the product and primer right for both faces is what keeps those joints sound.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sets the cost

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:

  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Distance, for remote addresses
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers

The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Details that help us quote

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Asbestos survey details if the building is older
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Sites and facades in and around Maidenhead

Rainfall across the South East, Maidenhead included, is lower than in many 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. The area within 2 miles of Maidenhead holds plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.

Projects at schools like Claires Court Schools work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hotels like Bear Hotel, 0.6 miles to the east of Maidenhead, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Maidenhead is about 27 miles west of London, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Looking for facade sealing in Maidenhead? We can help. Our Windsor and Maidenhead coverage takes in 60 places. We also cover Reading, some 12 miles away.

Surface by surface

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints.

Precast concrete panels

Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.

General trades versus a specialist

Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

After the work

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:

  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation
  • Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
  • Walk the elevations once or twice a year
  • Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant

Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour.

Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.

Signs you need facade sealing in Maidenhead

Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.

Look out for the following:

  • Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
  • Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
  • Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
  • Cladding panel joints that have opened up

Hospital estates such as St Mark's Hospital, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Maidenhead, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Who will actually carry out the work

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

From enquiry to sign-off

Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Town-centre premises in Maidenhead may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. Industrial and business units normally have yard or car park space.

  1. Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
  2. Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
  3. The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
  4. Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
  5. Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
  6. The finished joints are checked with you.

Getting the site ready

  • Send your site hours and access windows
  • Let us know about inductions and permits
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
