Wickham: questions and answers
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Wickham?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can the mastic package for our job in Wickham follow the site programme?
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.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Wickham
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. Most enquiries involve patch repairs that keep failing and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Wickham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Wickham 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What we’re called out for in Wickham
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Older buildings in the area around Wickham, such as Benham Park, 3.7 miles to the south-east of Wickham, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Wickham are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Mastic packages on Wickham sites
Wickham lies roughly 58 miles out from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Wickham is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors at a school such as Welford and Wickham C.E. Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Wickham is about 6 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Anywhere in RG20, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 140 places across West Berkshire fall within our area, including Wickham. Reading is covered too, around 20 miles from Wickham.
Anyone looking for facade sealing in RG20 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Wickham
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. For buildings around smaller places like Wickham, 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.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
