Facade sealing in Old Woking, done properly
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you’re dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can put it right, on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Old Woking, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Old Woking, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Mastic packages on Old Woking sites
Old Woking lies roughly 23 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Old Woking 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Projects at colleges like Woking College (to the north-west of Old Woking) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. New wings at hospitals like Woking Community Hospital (1.2 miles north-west of Old Woking) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Old Woking is about 2 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Commercial clients in Old Woking can call on us for facade joints. We work across 379 places in Surrey, from busy centres to rural villages. Reading is covered too, around 21 miles from Old Woking.

Commercial clients in Old Woking
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
What we’re called out for in Old Woking
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Building work at universities like University of Surrey (4.6 miles south-west of Old Woking) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Old Woking: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Old Woking, such as Lion Retail Park?
Yes, sites like Lion Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Old Woking. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Surrey for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. For buildings around smaller places like Old Woking, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
What affects the price in Old Woking
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
