Facade sealing for Tidmarsh sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building around Tidmarsh, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- 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.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Tidmarsh
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tidmarsh first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Tidmarsh is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
Sites and facades in and around Tidmarsh
Tidmarsh is about 43 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. A 2-mile radius around Tidmarsh takes in a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Elephant Hotel (0.9 miles north of Tidmarsh), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When units on a site such as Turnhams Green Business Park, 2.1 miles south-east of Tidmarsh, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. For contractors at a school such as Pangbourne Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Questions about Tidmarsh
Is Tidmarsh too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Tidmarsh, such as Turnhams Green Business Park?
Yes. We cover Tidmarsh and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Turnhams Green Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
