About our facade sealing in Play Hatch
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you are dealing with previous reseals run over old sealant and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Most enquiries from Play Hatch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Play Hatch can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.
FAQs: Play Hatch
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal Berkshire Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Play Hatch outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
Why deal with it now?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. For buildings around smaller places like Play Hatch, 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 specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

When to call us in Play Hatch
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Look out for the following:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Suttons Business Park, 1.6 miles to the south of Play Hatch, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
New build and refits around Play Hatch
A 2-mile radius around Play Hatch takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Play Hatch is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
University estates such as University of Reading, 1 mile north-east of Play Hatch, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Great House Hotel, 1 mile east of Play Hatch, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
