Facade sealing in Spencers Wood
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, 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 shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are patch repairs that keep failing and failed sealant on precast panel joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Spencers Wood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Spencers Wood, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Spencers Wood
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
On a healthcare site such as Royal Berkshire Hospital, 3.9 miles north of Spencers Wood, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Several jobs near Spencers Wood can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
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.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. In a smaller place such as Spencers Wood, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
