Facade sealing in Medmenham, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, 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 hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and water coming in around window frames, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Medmenham first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Medmenham is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like Berkshire College of Agriculture for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Medmenham off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels on commercial buildings.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Older rural buildings around Medmenham move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Facade sealing in Medmenham: the local picture
Medmenham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Medmenham is about 32 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Danesfield House Hotel And Spa, 0.6 miles east of Medmenham, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Extensions at sites like Marlow Community Hospital, 3.3 miles to the north-east of Medmenham, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Projects at schools like Danesfield School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Medmenham is about 3 miles south-west of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. Our applicators travel to Medmenham for work on facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Buckinghamshire coverage takes in 308 places, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Reading page (9 miles or so).

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Smaller jobs around Medmenham can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
