Facade sealing for businesses in Wash Water

Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.

Owners, agents and contractors

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Facade sealing in Wash Water

We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Wash Water, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Sites around smaller places like Wash Water can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.

We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Questions we’re asked in Wash Water

Is Wash Water off your patch?

Not at all. Wash Water is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?

Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Can you find out why a window is leaking?

Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.

Can the sealant be colour-matched?

In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.

How much does the work cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.

Do you provide access for facade work?

We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.

Can one quote cover more than one building?

Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.

When it isn’t the sealant

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:

  • Render or concrete edges that have broken away
  • Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
  • Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry

If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Window and door perimeters
  • Cladding panel joints
  • Shopfront frames
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Coping and flashing joints

Why act early in Wash Water

If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. For buildings around smaller places like Wash Water, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

When to call us in Wash Water

Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.

Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:

  • Cladding panel joints that have opened up
  • Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
  • Patch repairs that keep failing
  • Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip

On a healthcare site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, which lies north-east of Wash Water, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
  • Proof of insurance
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
  • What site paperwork they can supply

How to choose a sealant contractor

Different surfaces, different methods

Precast concrete panels

Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.

Coping and flashing joints

Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.

From enquiry to sign-off

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wash Water are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

  1. We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
  2. Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
  3. We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
  4. Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
  5. Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
  6. Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Flag any permit to work we will need
  • Send any specification or drawings in advance

Building and refurbishing in Wash Water

Wash Water is about 55 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.

For contractors at a school such as Horris Hill School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Further education sites such as Newbury College (to the north-east of Wash Water) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
