Contractors’ notes for Priestwood
A 2-mile radius around Priestwood takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Rainfall across the South East, Priestwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Work at a hotel such as Fines Bayliwick Hotel (0.8 miles west of Priestwood) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre, 0.5 miles south of Priestwood, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. School extensions, at buildings such as Meadow Vale Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

How we handle facade sealing in Priestwood
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and leaks at window and door perimeters, on cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Priestwood, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Building work in places the size of Priestwood is normally small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Common questions from Priestwood clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Newbold College of Higher Education?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Priestwood too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you call 01277 525 020 or email the details over, describe the access.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Work in places the size of Priestwood is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Providing access systems for the work
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.

What else we do in Priestwood
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement 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.
