New build and refits around Swallowfield
Swallowfield lies roughly 38 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand. Rainfall across the South East, Swallowfield included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When units on a site such as Lambs Farm Business Park, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Swallowfield, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Projects at schools like Lambs Lane Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Swallowfield is about 5 miles south of Reading, in Wokingham. We send applicators to Swallowfield for facade joints. Swallowfield is one of 42 places in Wokingham on our list for facade joints.

Facade sealing in Swallowfield
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you’re dealing with cold air coming in at window perimeters and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can help, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Swallowfield, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Swallowfield bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is typically what’s needed.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Rural sites near Swallowfield may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Common questions from Swallowfield clients
Is Swallowfield too far out for you?
No. Places such as Swallowfield are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Royal Berkshire Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. Older rural buildings around Swallowfield move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

When to call us in Swallowfield
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
New wings at hospitals like Royal Berkshire Hospital (5 miles north of Swallowfield) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
