Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Around Sunningwell, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Facade sealing in Sunningwell, 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. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is staining on stone next to old sealant and new sealant peeling off old mastic. For commercial sealant work in Sunningwell, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Sunningwell can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Facade sealing around Sunningwell: points for this area
Sunningwell lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
Further education sites such as Abingdon & Witney College: Abingdon Campus, 1.4 miles to the south of Sunningwell, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. New wings at hospitals like Abingdon Community Hospital, 2.2 miles south of Sunningwell, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Projects at schools like Sunningwell Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Sunningwell is about 2 miles north of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Any commercial site in Sunningwell is covered. Across Oxfordshire, 423 places are covered, including Sunningwell.

Advice
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Specialist high-level access methods
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Common questions from Sunningwell clients
Is a smaller place like Sunningwell outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Abingdon Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
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, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
