Facade sealing in New Town, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. The enquiries we see most involve staining on stone next to old sealant and cold air coming in at window perimeters, across stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames. For commercial sealant work in New Town, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as New Town bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. New Town can form part of a wider programme.
When to call us in New Town
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
Historic houses such as Basildon Park (1.4 miles north of New Town) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Town
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings around smaller places like New Town, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like New Town are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for 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
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Building and refurbishing in New Town
New Town 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, so the external programme keeps a little slack. New Town lies roughly 44 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
New wings at hospitals like Battle Hospital, 5.7 miles east of New Town, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Projects at schools like Basildon C.E. Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
New Town is about 7 miles west of Reading, in West Berkshire. Across the RG8 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 140 places across West Berkshire fall within our area, New Town among them.

New Town: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Battle Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near New Town?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
