Questions about Rowstock
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Didcot Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Rowstock too small for you to travel to?
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.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Facade sealing in Rowstock, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and leaks at window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Rowstock it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Rowstock bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Contractors’ notes for Rowstock
Rainfall across the South East, Rowstock 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 we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Rowstock. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
School extensions, at buildings such as Harwell Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hotels like Steventon House Hotel (0.9 miles north of Rowstock) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Didcot Hospital, 2.2 miles east of Rowstock, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Rowstock
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Halls, stores and units around places like Rowstock may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.

What affects the price in Rowstock

- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants

Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
