Facade sealing in Ockford Ridge
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have water coming in around window frames and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Ockford Ridge, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Ockford Ridge 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Facade sealing in Ockford Ridge: the local picture
Central London is about 33 miles from Ockford Ridge. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Ockford Ridge included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Further education sites such as Godalming College, 1.5 miles north-east of Ockford Ridge, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. New units and refits on sites such as Godalming Business Centre (to the north-east of Ockford Ridge) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotels like The White Hart Hotel, 0.8 miles to the south of Ockford Ridge, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Ockford Ridge is about 2 miles south-west of Godalming, in Surrey. Ockford Ridge sits inside our coverage and the rest of Surrey, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

What else we do in Ockford Ridge
Commercial clients in Ockford Ridge
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Questions about Ockford Ridge
Is a smaller place like Ockford Ridge outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Godalming Business Centre, close to Ockford Ridge?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ockford Ridge, Godalming Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
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.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Smaller jobs around Ockford Ridge can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
