About our facade sealing in Marlow
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Marlow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in a town such as Marlow is often smaller schemes: a few new flats, a school extension, a refurbished unit. The perimeter and facade joints on a small scheme need the same sizing and preparation as on a big one.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Buckinghamshire. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Town-centre premises in Marlow may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. On estates and business parks it’s typically simpler.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
Facade sealing around Marlow: how the place shapes the job
Marlow sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Marlow has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Work at a hotel such as Chequers Hotel, under half a mile to the south of Marlow, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When units on a site such as Globe Business Park (to the east of Marlow) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a healthcare site such as Marlow Community Hospital, which lies east of Marlow, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Marlow is about 4 miles south of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Across the SL7 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in Buckinghamshire, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Reading page (12 miles or so).
We cover the SL7 postcode districts. Among the streets we cover are Station Road, High Street and Willowmead Square, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Marlow sits on or close to the A404 and B482, useful when we plan access and materials.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Globe Business Park, near Marlow?
Yes, sites like Globe Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Marlow. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Marlow Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Do you work in Marlow?
Yes. We cover Marlow and the rest of Buckinghamshire, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In Marlow, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. After a leak, there’s drying, repairs and redecoration on top.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.
