Facade sealing in Shepherd's Green, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and air leaks through failed facade joints, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shepherd's Green? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Shepherd's Green is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shepherd's Green are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

What else we do in Shepherd's Green
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Shepherd's Green can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
New build and refits around Shepherd's Green
Central London is about 38 miles from Shepherd's Green. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Shepherd's Green is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
School extensions, at buildings such as Peppard Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as Townlands Memorial Hospital (2.7 miles east of Shepherd's Green), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Shepherd's Green is about 5 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. We send applicators to Shepherd's Green for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire. For work in that direction, see our Reading page.

What we are called out for in Shepherd's Green
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
For contractors on a campus like University of Reading, 4.2 miles south-east of Shepherd's Green, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
