Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Wildridings is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a smaller place such as Wildridings, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.

When to call us in Wildridings
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Further education sites such as Newbold College of Higher Education (1.6 miles north-west of Wildridings) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

What else we do in Wildridings
Leave it or put it right?
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. Small buildings around Wildridings suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- CHAS accredited

- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Specialist high-level access methods
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a site in Wildridings, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Questions about Wildridings
Would you work within a site like Broadmoor Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Wildridings outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
