Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Sandleford
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Sandleford it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Sandleford, building work usually 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like Newbury College for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Sandleford outside your area?
Not at all. Sandleford is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
When to call us in Sandleford
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
When a school such as The Willows Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Sandleford, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Cost factors for facade joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sandleford
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Sandleford tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- CHAS accredited contractor

New build and refits around Sandleford
Sandleford is about 53 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Sandleford. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Newbury Retail Park, which lies north of Sandleford, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Older buildings in the area around Sandleford, such as Shaw House, 2.4 miles north of Sandleford, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
