On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. If others near Newtown Common need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

About our facade sealing in Newtown Common
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and facade joints cracked through the middle.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Newtown Common can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Cost factors for facade joints
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Contractors’ notes for Newtown Common
Newtown Common is about 54 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. Rainfall across the South East, Newtown Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Projects at colleges like Newbury College (1.1 miles north of Newtown Common) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Historic houses such as Highclere Castle, 3.1 miles to the south-west of Newtown Common, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Newtown Common is about 2 miles south of Newbury, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG20, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, large and small. Sites around Reading have their own page, about 16 miles away.
Anyone looking for facade sealing in RG20 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. We also cover Burghclere Common (1 mile south), Earlstone Common (1 mile south), Sandleford (1 mile north-east), Wash Common (1 mile north-west) and Wash Water (1 mile west).

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Signs you need facade sealing in Newtown Common
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
When units on a site such as Newbury Retail Park, 1.4 miles to the north of Newtown Common, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Your questions answered
Is Newtown Common too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can work at a site such as Newbury College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we will ask to see it. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
