Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Wickham Heath
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. Site teams most often ask us about sealant pulling away from frames or panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wickham Heath 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 Wickham Heath 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 stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Wickham Heath: questions and answers
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Wickham Heath?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
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 and we follow the specified product.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

Contractors’ notes for Wickham Heath
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Wickham Heath. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. At about 56 miles from central London, Wickham Heath is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Older buildings in the area around Wickham Heath, such as Benham Park, 1.8 miles to the south-east of Wickham Heath, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New wings at hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital (4.7 miles east of Wickham Heath) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as Stockcross C.E. School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wickham Heath are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs 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.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space
