Why act early in Marcham
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Facade sealing in Marcham, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: 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 staining on stone next to old sealant and draughts around frames and panels, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Marcham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
On a small site around Marcham, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Let us know the key stages and we’ll time the work so nothing waits on us.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Marcham outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Abingdon Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Facade sealing around Marcham: how the place shapes the job
Marcham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 55 miles from Marcham. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor at a hotel such as The Dog House Hotel, 1.2 miles north of Marcham, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When a school such as Abingdon Preparatory School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Further education sites such as McTimoney Chiropratic College (to the east of Marcham) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Work in places the size of Marcham is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
