How we handle facade sealing in Shilton
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, across cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Shilton from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In the countryside around places like Shilton, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Shilton clients
Is Shilton 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. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as West Oxon. Industrial Park, by Shilton?
Yes. We cover Shilton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as West Oxon. Industrial Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
When to call us in Shilton
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When a school such as Carterton Community College is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Proof of insurance
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Site staff or a sealant 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. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Building and refurbishing in Shilton
Shilton is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Shilton is about 68 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Units on estates such as West Oxon. Industrial Park (to the south-east of Shilton) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Shilton, such as Minster Lovell Hall, which lies north-east of Shilton, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
