How we handle facade sealing in Three Ashes
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is discoloured or dirty facade joints and previous reseals run over old sealant. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Three Ashes, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Three Ashes, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Mastic packages on Three Ashes sites
Three Ashes is about 44 miles 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. Rainfall across the South East, Three Ashes included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Older buildings in the area around Three Ashes, such as The Vyne, 2.8 miles to the south of Three Ashes, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. School extensions, at buildings such as Silchester Church of England Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Three Ashes is about 3 miles east of Tadley, in Hampshire. Commercial clients in Three Ashes use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Hampshire. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.

Three Ashes: questions and answers
Is Three Ashes too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you need facade sealing in Three Ashes?
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
On a healthcare site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, which lies south of Three Ashes, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Three Ashes are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
