Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Ufton Nervet
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, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cold air coming in at window perimeters and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ufton Nervet 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.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Ufton Nervet 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Ufton Nervet outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Battle Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building.

Facades, frames and programmes in Ufton Nervet
Ufton Nervet is about 43 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors at a school such as Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Battle Hospital, which lies north-east of Ufton Nervet, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When units on a site such as Theale Lakes Business Park, 1.9 miles north-east of Ufton Nervet, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. Older rural buildings around Ufton Nervet move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
