How we handle facade sealing in Ovington
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and draughts around frames and panels.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Converted and older buildings near places like Ovington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Sites and facades in and around Ovington
Ovington is about 56 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Ovington. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Units on estates such as Abbas Business Centre (to the north-west of Ovington) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Ovington, such as Hinton Ampner House (3.4 miles south-east of Ovington), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
When to call us in Ovington
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When a school such as Perins School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Questions about Ovington
Is Ovington too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St John's Rooms And Chapel?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
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.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Ovington, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site

- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
