Facade sealing in Tongwell, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Tongwell, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Tongwell is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tongwell
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Around Tongwell, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Tongwell: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Blakelands Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as Blakelands Industrial Estate, near Tongwell?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tongwell, Blakelands Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Quoting for work in Tongwell
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. If others near Tongwell need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
Sites and facades in and around Tongwell
Rainfall across the South East, Tongwell included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. The area within 2 miles of Tongwell holds a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Further education sites such as Milton Keynes College (to the south of Tongwell) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. Hospital estates such as Blakelands Hospital, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Tongwell, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. Hotels like Swan Revived Hotel (1.4 miles north of Tongwell) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
