How we handle facade sealing in Sandford-on-Thames
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draughts around frames and panels and previous reseals run over old sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Sandford-on-Thames is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Sandford-on-Thames, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building around Sandford-on-Thames, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Facade sealing in Sandford-on-Thames: the local picture
Sandford-on-Thames sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. A 2-mile radius around Sandford-on-Thames takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like The Oxford Science Park, which lies north-east of Sandford-on-Thames, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Oxford Thames Hotel, under half a mile west of Sandford-on-Thames, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Extensions at sites like Churchill Hospital, 2.6 miles to the north of Sandford-on-Thames, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
