Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Midgham Green
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, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Midgham Green? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Midgham Green, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Mastic packages on Midgham Green sites
Midgham Green lies roughly 48 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Midgham Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a school such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. When units on a site such as Thatcham Business Village, 1.8 miles to the west of Midgham Green, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. New wings at hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital, 4.5 miles west of Midgham Green, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Midgham Green is about 3 miles east of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Any commercial site in Midgham Green is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Questions we are asked in Midgham Green
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work at a site such as Thatcham Business Village, by Midgham Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Midgham Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Thatcham Business Village included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Midgham Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
