Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Facade sealing in Mongewell
Managing agents and owners in Mongewell 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. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you are dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Mongewell, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Mongewell 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
When to call us in Mongewell
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Look out for the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Work at a hotel such as The George Hotel (0.8 miles north of Mongewell) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Surface by surface
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.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Questions we are asked in Mongewell
Is Mongewell off your patch?
Not at all. Mongewell is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Hithercroft Industrial Estate, near Mongewell?
Yes. Our area takes in Mongewell and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hithercroft Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
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.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why act early in Mongewell
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. For buildings around smaller places like Mongewell, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Mongewell are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Contractors’ notes for Mongewell
Mongewell 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. At about 44 miles from central London, Mongewell is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For contractors at a school such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Older buildings in the area around Mongewell, such as Brightwell Manor, which lies north-west of Mongewell, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
