Common questions from Runwell clients
Is Runwell too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Cricketers Retail Park, near Runwell, within your area?
Yes, sites like Cricketers Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Runwell. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Facade sealing in Runwell
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and air leaks through failed facade joints, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Runwell tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around places like Runwell, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Work in places the size of Runwell is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Building and refurbishing in Runwell
A 2-mile radius around Runwell takes in a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Runwell is about 28 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
When units on a site such as Cricketers Retail Park, 2.5 miles south-west of Runwell, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. New wings at hospitals like Mayflower Community Hospital, 5.2 miles west of Runwell, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
