Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Silchester
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. 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. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and damp patches beside frames after rain, across window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Silchester are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

What affects the price in Silchester
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints

Facade sealing around Silchester: what changes locally
Rainfall across the South East, Silchester included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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. Silchester lies roughly 45 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Stacey Industrial Park, which lies west of Silchester, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. School extensions, at buildings such as Silchester Church of England Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, 5.1 miles to the south of Silchester, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Silchester is about 2 miles east of Tadley, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Silchester for facade joints. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.

FAQs: Silchester
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Silchester, such as Stacey Industrial Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Silchester and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Stacey Industrial Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them with backing and a facade-grade sealant.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
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.
